Another Scam of Medicare

This is of electric wheelchairs.  Medicare has provided these wheelchairs to 2,700,000 million since 1999; the cost has been $8.2 billion. Clearly there were legitimate transactions in that number. No one knows how many, as Medicare often pays insurance claims without checking them first. The really sad part about this is that the government knew how the wheelchair scheme worked in 1998. But it wasn’t until 15 years later that officials finally did enough to significantly curb the practice.
