Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

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
