Shocked

Mel...I bet that doctor charges well over $100 for those shots to your landlord. Costs him about 50 cents.

Here we have had two oncologists (cancer doctors) who bilked Medicare out of many millions by giving chemo to people who did NOT have cancer! The following link is just one of the recent ones:

Imagine 109 MILLION dollars in fraud! Not to mention poisoning people with dangerous chemo drugs that could destroy their health or even kill them!

Medicare is specifically susceptible to fraud. People like hubby and me have double coverage. So we don't even pay copays for most Part B bills. So the doctors look at us as golden cows to bilk. My podiatrist who removed my toenail when I banged it wanted me to come in every 2 months.... yeah sure! He is a nice guy and for all my other issues in the past was very helpful.
But I will not participate in the bilking of Medicare, now that I have it.
