Subject: Re: Minn Med Fraud
U.S. health insurance fraud costs are massive and vary by estimate, ranging from
over $100 billion (combining private, Medicare, Medicaid losses) up to potentially $300 billion or more annually, with some studies showing Medicare/Medicaid alone at $105 billion and private insurers facing huge losses from fraud, waste, and abuse, all contributing to higher premiums and healthcare costs for everyone
$300B, for a population of 343M. $875/person
Given how scarce medical resources are, stuff like this ought to be resulting in people serving prison sentences.
