Sandra asks…
Medicare fraud and abuse—?
Drug abusers and alcoholics are the ones who have depleted the Medicare system.
Those life styles were their own choices, which in turn caused health problems. Medicare should never have approved drug abusers and alcohol abusers for benefits—after all, most have not worked and never paid any towards Medicare. That’s where the abuse in Medicare is —those folks have not even paid into the Medicare system (or very little). Then you take someone older who has worked and paid into Medicare for years and years–and Obama is wanting them to choose hospice instead of treatment (which they paid for remember?). But its ok to take all their money they paid into the Medicare system and give it—free of cost—to drug users and alcoholics, simply because they are younger?
BoredinVA–I wrote that the elderly have paid into Medicare for years and years. I bill Medicare for hospital claims and I’ve seen it over and over, young people who can’t work or hold a job due to addictions, yet they qualify for Medicare—AND the qualifying diagnosis???? You guessed it—alcoholism or drug addiction. Those diagnosis should not qualify for Medicare, especially if they’ve never paid for Medicare.

Mark asks…
After Democrats cut 500 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse from medicare why can’t republicans leave it alone?
Health Care Reform already fixed medicare. Hands OFF Repubs
Have you idiots even read the reforms? One is removing duplicate paper work and the other is allowing certain hospitals pool resources to get better treatment costs.
admin answers:
Don’t forget that the Republicans in the House have already voted to end Medicare AND to repeal the affordable care act, so they are in favor of restoring the waste, fraud, and abuse to Medicare and then slowly phasing Medicare out.
