Medicare Scam
Every day I get telemarketing calls from people who claim that they can get me more benefits from Medicare. Usually, I hang up on them. but today I stayed on the line long enough to be asked what my Medicate number is. At this point I hung up. I called Medicare and asked if I should give my Medicate number to anyone who calls and asks for it. I was told that no I never should. If an unauthorized person gets my Medicare number that person can make claims against my account. curse

Another big reason why...
I am for expanding Medicare and making most private add on deals illegal. Medicare and Medicaid are ripe for abuse solely based on the customers they service and our government sure seems to be willing to help them to do it. The vast majority of fraud takes place in ways like what they tried to get you into and from providers doing false/exaggerated claims. Just take one look at Sen Rick Scott and it encapsulates so much of the whole corruption. And that they then turn it around and try to pin it on the user instead of the provider is so utterly disgusting

For profit healthcare pisses me off as a concept, immensely. If there is a hell, a lot of people will be going to it based on how they treat people needing healthcare
