Just wondering...

According to an AP report, 94 people were charged with Medicare fraud.

Now I'm wondering with this new 2500-page health care bill, how will anyone know if the law is being broken or not?

The article says that the new law gives the government the power to quit paying those suspected of fraudulent claims. What is being implied is that the government's hands were tied when it came to suspected fraud. I know that is not true because I can remember several times when people were arrested for filing fraudulent Medicare claims. It is very scary how the way things are worded can look like one thing but mean something else.

I saw a Medicare scam on 60 MINUTES that literally blew away all other scams I had seen. They were bilking the government (taxpayers) for 10's of millions of dollars with fraudulent claims:

The End Of Christianity - Finding a Good God in an Evil World - Pg.31 -
William Dembski
Excerpt: "In mathematics there are two ways to go to infinity. One is to grow large without measure. The other is to form a fraction in which the denominator goes to zero. The Cross is a path of humility in which the infinite God becomes finite and then contracts to zero, only to resurrect and thereby unite a finite humanity within a newfound infinity."

Philippians 2: 5-11
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
