An area I would have focus placed upon first is the obvious abuse of the system. There are many more billions being paid to doctors/hospitals/health care providers that are nothing but greed fleecing a system that allows it.
This category alone will relent sufficient $$$ to more worthy needs than these medical professional "medicare perps".

Actually if one addresses the outrageous administrative costs....
over 30% of all healthcare costs in the USA, and the plethora of unwarranted tests done for liability concerns( you cannot imagine the likely
billlions from this), and the above examples of innapropriate care ,the percieved fleecing by doctors and hospitals pales in comparison. Not that it is tolerable in any instance but in my experience (mostly not for profit and teaching hospitals, and private practice) the majority of these people and institutions struggle within the current system to honestly make a living and take care of patients.
Not sure was a professional medicare perp is?
I do appreciate the space to get out the word on living wills/advanced directives though..please listen, that little form they give you at the hospital is not adaquate.
Chels, I would invest in a lot of espresso if I were you!
