Washington Post article: Health-care providers who fail to pay their federal taxes continue to receive millions of dollars of payments from Medicaid, the government health-care program for the poor, according to a report by congressional investigators.
The government has an automated system to withhold a portion of federal payments to contractors who owe unpaid taxes, but Medicaid providers fall between the cracks, the Government Accountability Office found.
"These doctors are supposed to be serving the most needy, instead they are cheating taxpayers in order to line their pockets," said a statement by Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota, ranking Republican on the Governmental Affairs Committee's permanent subcommittee on investigations.
And these are the same Doctors which YOU think are going to act more scrupulously IF something like Hillary-Care becomes law?
