ORIGINAL: thishereboi They could go after the billions lost to medicare/medicaid fraud to get some. Now it's nowhere close to a trillion, but I think it would be a good start and I can't think of any bad consequences from it. Medicaid fraud? That's the most stupid idea I've ever heard. Medicaid goes by poverty guidelines set years ago when one adult could support a family. Families are split up every day, forced to divorce in order to qualify for medicaid because somebody has alzheimers or cancer. How about doubling or tripling tax rates for wealthy couples as opposed single rich people and forcing them to get divorced to be eligible for lower tax rates? If they get caught lying about their marital status we can prosecute them for fraud. Yes Medicaid fraud. For example, when some hot shot doctor bills medicaid for things he didn't do or someone else bills for equipment they never sold. Now please enlighten me. Why is it such a stupid idea to try and stop that? And do you think the answer to everything is tax the rich? boi is right. Fraud can come from many directions, not just those who get the service, but those who bill the service, Drs, pharmaceutical companies, equipment, administration. Not everyone is picking on the poor.
