It's a well known and published fact that many, if not most, United States government entitlement programs are filled with waste and fraud.
That is non-debatable and widely well understood..
I would like to present to you one scenario that I 'imagine' to be prevalent in the medicaid program..
Drug abuse and distribution are wildly under-reported in the media and completely ignored by Washington bureaucrats.
Any 'poor' drug abuser can easily take advantage of the, failed, heath-care system if they are inclined to do so.. In my opinion many are so inclined and they do..
Here is how it 'might' take place.. In a conspiratorial sort of way lol
Someone claims 'stress' or some other disability. Hire an attorney to expedite the 'process' of being 'approved' to receive entitlement 'benefits'.
Go to your 'free' doctor's appointment and get a prescription for xanax and, if possible, some high quality 'pain killing' medication.
Being a medicaid recipient what is your 'cost' for filling a prescription? I'm too lazy to 'verify' but I feel 'safe' betting on a dollar or two per 'script'.
I know, well.. of course I 'mean' I have heard, that xanax can command a street price as high as 5.00 per 2 mg tablet. And I saw in the local paper just the other day that some 'pain killing' medication can go for as much as $60.00 a pill !!!
So what if a guy/gal gets say 300 xanax (candy for grownups..) a month and say 100 'pain killers' that have a 'low' street value of $30.00 each. Say 'they' could get 4.00 each for the xanax.
Xanax (300 - 50) for 'personal' / 'recreational' use = 250 x $4.00 = $1,000.00 And some good 'pain killers' (100 - 25) for 'personal' / 'recreational' use = 75 x $30.00 = $2,250.00.
Jeeze.. that sounds like a decent living to me.. $3,250.00 a month.. And free 'recreational' drugs to boot..
It's really SIMPLE to do..
It's not 'rocket science' (or physics ;) to be able to figure this 'stuff' out but the people who do this do seem 'smart' enough to 'game' the system.
Maybe they're 'smart' enough to run a business and 'contribute' to society too?
Nawwwww..
But, if the government thinks the public 'mood' in the country is mean and nasty right now they should try taking away people's 'drugs'.. LMFAO
