Health-care scheme


 Blood Sample

Federal investigators say a small blood lab in New Jersey paid doctors kickbacks to send blood work to the lab as part of a $200 million health-care fraud scheme.

"There was an excess of a dozen doctors who actively participated in the scheme like there was nothing wrong with it," according to Scott Lampert, special agent in charge at Health and Human ‎Services. "This was in excess of a $200 million health-care fraud scheme one of the largest that I've ever seen," Lampert said.
They knowingly ordered unnecessary blood tests.

The lab's top guy, according to investigators, was making so much cash that he dropped millions on items including vintage cars, fancy homes and more. 

An employee of Walmart, Mc Donald and others make $10/hour and support their families with minor support from the State just to keep their head above the water and here is Doctors, fortune enough to reach this level of social status and with income of hundred thousands of dollar /year, and still have the need to scam the Tax Payer.  What a Shame brought to the profession and their families.  

Just a thought.
