What’s funny is that conservative critics actually claim that the Obama administration is “incompetent.”
With Department of Justice officials busting over 30 people in three states charging the federal government over $60 million in fraudulent Medicare costs, the Obama administration is certainly taking an efficient and competent stand against Medicare abuse.
These efforts by the Justice Department indicate how abuse of the Medicare system is rampant, as it is targeted by unscrupulous individuals looking at this federal government-run program as a cash cow. When Republican Senators rail against the planned decreases in Medicare spending as proposed by the current health care reforms, it needs to be asked: Are they arguing in favor of the fraudulent practices performed by those busted by the DOJ, which causes overspending by Medicare and puts it on insolvent ground?
Oh, that’s right, Republicans have always been against Medicare for ideological purposes. Why would they support efforts to ensure the programs solvency? Little wonder they oppose the efforts taken by an obviously competent Obama administration. Can’t have a solvent Medicare program now, can we?
