If doctors are squeezed by Medicare & Medicaid into accepting less money for their services, that may be the tipping point that starts them down the wrong path. Of course that doesn't justify their actions, I'm just saying it might be a contributing factor in some cases as some doctors may feel cheated by the system.

All doctors have a choice of accepting Medicare and Medicaid or going another route. Nobody is forcing them to accept less money.
By these recent examples, it seems that The Villages attracts the rotten apples probably because of the elderly population who will accept any test ordered.
