HEALTHCARE MAFIA

American consumers of healthcare think the United States probably offers decent healthcare compared to Canada and Mexico.   That is the average American.   I never tried to be average.  

Those who know how healthcare is provided in Canada and Mexico do not contend with the healthcare mafia.  You think the Somali fraud is bad?  It's a drop in the bucket compared to Medicaid fraud, insurance fraud, hospital fraud, physician group fraud, doctor fraud, home health fraud and of course, fraud in Big Pharma.   Is hundreds of billions of fraud dollars a big number?

Dean Parisian tries to stay away from healthcare.   He tries to stay away from pharmacies.  He shies away from ingesting pills. He thinks healthcare is his responsibility.   Eat right, drink sensible, exercise, what is so hard about that?

It was estimated that last year, 2025, improper Medicaid payments alone were close to $40,000,000,000.  Inflated payments, dishonesty in paperwork, kickbacks, and collusion lead the way. 

It is thought the United States healthcare system is the most corrupt on a global scale.  I don't even know where to start it's so bad.  There are just so many in on it.  From unnecessary procedures, overuse of pathology, kickbacks, upcoding, which is inflating costs of procedures performed on the average American, performing unnecessary treatments, yes, unnecessary surgeries, and the millions of fraudulent bills and theft from ACA reimbursements it is a morass of theft, and effects everyone in the form of higher taxes and premiums.   

I can't let Big Pharma off the hook, so lets take a look.  From 1991–2021, pharma manufacturers paid over $62 billion in penalties (per Public Citizen analysis), with unlawful promotion and drug pricing fraud as top categories.

Res Ipsa Loquiter.   The fines speak for themselves.  

If you have to go to a hospital or doctor in Mexico or Canada I wish you well.   You will be amazed at the care you receive, the price you pay for it, the ease in which you pay for it, the bill itself, most importantly, the quality of services rendered.
