Medicare Flaws

I found this website to be interesting because it shows how millions of dollars were given to suppliers who were actually dead. Basically there were fake id's used to steal money from medicare and medicaid. But there is a solution in the near future, "The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and its contractors switched to a new ID system in May that will wipe away many of those outdated codes, but unless broader changes are implemented, the same problems of potential waste and fraud will arise again, the investigation found."
