Medicare Fraudsters Hiding in Cuba

As Medicare crime spreads across South Florida, accused scammers are escaping in droves to Cuba and other Latin American countries to avoid prosecution -- with more than 150 fugitives now wanted for stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the U.S. healthcare program, according to the FBI and court records.

They're not crooks...They're just misunderstood capitalists....

Oh, wait... If they're escaping to spanish-speaking countries, they must have been illegal aliens in the first place, right? That's the obvious (to the wingnuts) conclusion, right?

Most of the fugitives were born in Cuba, immigrated to South Florida after 1990 and can easily live under the radar in Latin America with hundreds of thousands or millions in taxpayer dollars fleeced from Medicare.

They're not? I'm wondering if you didn't read this and think it was about rich white Republican doctors that were committing fraud?

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

It doesn't say they "illegally" immigrated, does it... But you put whatever spin on it you need to make you feel vindicated, Skippy...

I didn't say anything about them not being spanish-speakers... That doesn't make them illegal...

Because so many of the Medicare defendants are Cuban

I didn't see anything about these defendants being primarily American.....not even Cuban-American.

So who are you outraged with? It could possibly be minorities could it? :lol:

No, I'm outraged at THIEVES (read: job creators) who set up phony businesses that are scams, steal from the government under the guise of "small business owners" and then skip out. Typical "rent, rape and run" conservative thought...

I wonder why this Medicare fraud keeps happening as much as it does. Can't Medicare require that businesses provide an audit report to show they are legit? Or maybe create a list of preferred providers like private insurance does?

WTF do Cubans coming to America to rip us off have to do with conservatives? Maybe you're trying to make some point about anyone who isn't a bat sh*t crazy liberal like yourself being a crook, but I still don't see this where you're going. Maybe one of your little tag along puppets could chime in to clarify. :lol:

I never understand why rich fugitives hide out in dictatorships. Aren't they worried Castro and the like will just seize their assets and throw them in prison?

I think it would be smarter to just go underground here or in Canada. Like Whitey Bulger.

All the more reason to return Medicare to reimbursing the patient instead of the provider, don't you think?
