The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

>>bighairmike: These arrests are part of a larger announcement made by the DOJ Monday saying it arrested 324 people in connection with more than $14.6 billion in fraud.<<

Did the DOJ announce that Joe Biden did this, that Operation Gold Rush started in 2023 and was a Biden administration initiative?

Oh nevermind. I know the answer. - albaby

Good, I don't mind at all giving Biden credit for getting the ball rolling. A good thing was accomplished.

The point of my post was to show that Medicare fraud does not necessarily involve medicare recipients. It seems that the debate was settling into deciding the issue on the sole basis of the effectiveness of individual assessment, which I agree is difficult to do effectively on a large scale.

You can't filter out the deserving and undeserving from each other, because the process of making that kind of individualized assessment is not only itself very expensive, but also ends up throwing tons of deserving people off the program. - albaby
