Benjamin and Rose Essien of Houston were indicted April 30 by a federal garnd jury for conspiracy, eight counts of health-care fraud and two counts of aggravated identity theft for filing more than a million dollars in fraudulent Medicaid claims. They ran Logic World Medical, a medical supply company and regularly billed Medicaid for adult diapers and other supplies they did not deliver to beneficiaries. This went on for more than two years before they were caught. They may be jailed, but I seriously doubt the government will recover the million dollars.
How many Benjamin and Roses are out there? And how many millions of dollars are being wasted because no one's watching? And we want the government to run all our health care?
