Is the Watchdog Asleep

Is the Watchdog Asleep? By Elton Camp According to what we have been told To Medicare a bill of goods has sold Fraudulent billings too often take place To steal our tax money is a disgrace Some medical providers have speeded To charge for procedures not needed Or to submit charges for tests not done Because cheating Uncle Sam is such fun Some equipment that is sold as being new Through several patients it’s been through Even patients may be in on some schemes He gives his number & of kickbacks dreams Then if he is asked about it, he agrees to tell Yes, the doctor did that and did it just so well Careful checks fraud such as this could detect And into prison the crooked people then direct So if the Medicare watchdog is actually sleeping It is more on the watch that he should be keeping
