MIAMI - Lured by easier money and shorter prison sentences, Mafia figures and other violent criminals are increasingly moving into Medicare fraud and spilling blood over what was once a white-collar crime.

Add that to what Medicare pays and see who is really getting rich.

"Medicare knowingly overpays for almost everything it buys. Examples include:

-- $7,215 to rent an oxygen concentrator, when the purchase price is $600.

-- $4,018 for a standard wheelchair, while the private sector pays $1,048.

-- $1,825 for a hospital bed, compared to an Internet price of $1,071.

-- $3,335 for a respiratory pump, versus an advertised price of $1,987.

-- $82 for a diabetic supply kit, instead of a $47 price on the Web."

"For criminals, Medicare schemes offer a greater payoff and carry much shorter prison sentences than offenses such as drug trafficking or robbery."

That can easily be remedied.

Sounds good to me. Maybe I need to start re-thinking "my" agenda. My wife lost her job, my stepson lost his job, my brother lost his job, my neice can't work because or work related back injuries. But I was still against the socialization of America. Maybe I need to learn how to take advantage of other people. Oh, I mean support the "system"! The system is broke. Fix it first. Rather that start another just like it. Other wise it is going to be a dog fight.
