Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

I’ve wondered who’ll be the aggrieved catalyst for what must come soon. Will it be the widowed spouse of a fired federal worker who committed suicide after being discarded. Will it be the bankrupted farmer or the senior cheated out of their social security? Who will get enough and light the fire?
