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
