Trial postponed for Paso Robles woman accused of forgery

Five million dollars for doing the paperwork to get a government grant! Our government allows this? Her crime is she forged some signatures? The question is, is there any reason to believe the people whose signatures were forged wouldn’t have signed the grant papers if presented with the papers to sign? If the grant was received, any reason to believe they wouldn’t have paid the $5 million?

I want to throw-up. It is like Medicare fraud. I never understood how all the Medicare fraud could take place year after year. Must be brilliant crooks — wrong! Sixty Minutes ran a piece tonight that clearly explained how ridiculously easy it is to rip off Medicare. All the officials of Medicare are absolute idiots, and they and the politicians that have never gotten to the bottom of this need to be thrown out of office. All of the Senior Republicans and Democrats need to be thrown out. All! Not one deserves to remain.

You might be able to see the video on the CBS website. They interviewed Medicare recipients (one was a retired Judge) that for years have constantly told Medicare that fake charges are showing up in their Medicare statements. Nothing was ever done. Fake charges for artificial limbs, two and tree at a time; electric wheelchairs; urine bags; special mattresses; you name it. The one Medicare recipient interviewed wanted to know why wasn’t her Medicare account flagged to check the validity of new charges coming in since she had been warning Medicare about fake charges on her Medicare statements for six years. No answer, “that’s just the way the system is”.

Where are the regulators, law enforcement, FBI, GAO, the Justice Department, etc? Just like with the Banks and Security firms, the regulators are all missing in action. What the heck do all these people in all of these government agencies do all day? Clearly, none of the government workers in management gives a damn because they don’t do anything about it. It would take a few simple steps to fix the ridiculously easy ways to rip off Medicare highlighted in the Sixty Minutes story tonight.

The FBI knows that this particular Medicare scam has been going on for years because they are being interviewed about it in the story. The FBI doesn’t go to Medicare, Justice or Congress and say here is what is happening, here are the holes in the system and here is our recommendation of how to fix it, and if it turns out the FBI has gone to these agencies, who is responsible in these agencies for doing nothing about it? Nobody ever gets fired, nobody is held responsible, and they all get their fat government pensions that we are paying for, and virtually all of the senior politicians in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans, are millionaires.

Those of you, both on the left and the right, who blindly stick-up for your party leaders — You are wrong!!! Both sides — blind, wrong and to blame!

The system is so easy to rip off, just everyday low lives, not highly intelligent crooks, as I wrongly assumed must be the case, have been able to rip off Medicare for millions of dollars in just a few months and have been doing it for years, but our fat cat government employees can’t do anything about it. Fire them all!

How do we turn over our already crooked commercial health insurance industry to our colossally incompetent government workers who can’t stop Medicare fraud, and allow $5 million of a $35 million federal government grant to be paid as a finder fee to a person for doing paperwork?
