Some of our rising healthcare costs are due to fraud -- individuals who steal from federal healthcare programs. This contributes to the mess we are in today and I'd like to see it stopped. On top of this, while doing some research for a new article, I learned that malicious and criminal attacks of sensitive healthcare information (personal and financial) are on the rise and this will cost us even more.
HHS is working to focus public attention on this issue and has created it's own "most wanted" poster of healthcare fugitives. Those listed on the site are reported to have cost taxpayers more than $124 million in fraud.
See the HHS OIG Fugitives now and lets see how fast we can fill up the captured page!
