McAllen the Medicare Capital: Obama puzzled!!!

President Obama is intrigued by the article chronicling McAllen's notoriety as the Health care consumption capital of the country. I think there is nothing intriguing about it. It is overuse, abuse and outright fraud, plain and simple. I know parents on Medicaid who send their kids to "therapia" just because of the free transportation for themselves. They are clueless as to what therapy the child is getting (if he is actually getting some therapy), but they don't mind, as they don't have to foot the bill. Same story with Medicaid giving away free diapers to incontinent 3 year olds. For the record, urinary incontinence at 3 years age is perfectly normal. Yet, DME companies call parents, give them Title 19 forms to be signed by the MD. Parents get some diapers (I doubt if they get all that was billed to medicaid), sell it in the flea market. It is a win-win situation for the DME company and the medicaid parent. Let us see if Obama is smart enough to break this little mafia!
