I mostly agree, but paying bonuses to employees will be wasting even more money. Medicare fraud and abuse are so rampant, that reporting it will do nothing. The people in charge know it exists, but they just don't care. I laugh every time I see a TV ad asking for the public to report Medicare fraud. This is just a publicity stunt to make people think the Government is trying to reduce fraud. If you report it, they already know about it, but they have no way to stop it anyway.
