Is the link for reporting insurance fraud to the state. I don't know that this rises to that level, however a few notices from Tallahassee that they are looking at the issue might help convince them that it is not worth the potential penalties

I was at our doctor (not in that system) for a regular visit and was asked if I wanted a flu shot and I asked if Helene and Sweetie could come over and get theirs too. They said yes. Sweetie said they weighed both of them and took their BP. Hmmm. We could have had it at Publix and not made a charge for a "visit" that our taxes have to pay for. We don't have a co-pay either because we still have Sweeties "decent" insurance that he worked long hours for fifty years for.
