Earlier this year in my hometown, a Medicare scam was busted. All of the patients are elderly Russian immigrants, who were targeted by the Russian-run business. They would be brought by van to the office, provided with papers to sign, given a kickback and then warned to keep their mouths shut. Then, they were driven home. One patient had 3,744 claims in six years. That’s nearly 625 claims a year, nearly two a day during that period.

I saw that picture on another thread, and I’d like to see that big gavel’s handle below her left hand being the only thing visible and the rest being shoved insde her rear end.

Well, maybe not in person.

And every day in the lunch room I have to watch motor scooter commercials about how Medicare will pay for everything!”

Doesn’t that make your teeth gnash????

How about the latest commercials from a company telling me that I can receive all my “incontinent supplies” from Medicare—selected from 6 available brands chosen by me & a ‘caring expert’ on their end of the phone?
I won’t have to suffer the embarrassment of having to purchase my adult diapers “out in public” (GASP) & my supplies will be delivered right to my door in a plain brown cardboard box for privacy. I like my UPS driver, but REALOLY!!!!!!!!

I also won’t have to do any paperwork after the first encounter, because “they will bill Medicare for everything”.

SURE THEY WILL!!!!!!!Over & over & over again & again!

Since when is my possible need for adult diapers the responsibility of the American taxpayers!!!!????

I would be far more embarrassed to ask Medicare to pay for such an item. FAAAAAAR too personal an item.
