Interesting idea, comrade.

Why stop there---fee limits on lawyers, dentists, accountants and while we're at it grocery clerks, Walmart greeters and used car salesmen. Punish those that defraud the system, but don't kill incentive for those that work hard and do a good job

BTW, it's not all that hard to identify medical fraud----just pull a list of the top 500 non-institutional billers and you'll hit the jackpot!
