On the main site today, I have a
piece up about how the rampant fraud in Medicare and Medicaid
undermines the Democrats' argument that we need a new
government-run health program to increase efficiency. This
Sunday, "60 Minutes" will tackle the issue, according to the CBS
site:
MEDICARE/MEDICAID FRAUD - Medicare and
Medicaid fraudsters are cheating U.S. taxpayers out of an
estimated $90 billion a year using a billing scam that is
surprisingly easy to execute. Steve Kroft investigates. Ira
Rosen and Joel Bach are the producers.
