there is a couple tons of demographic data about healthcare and the elderly locked in the medicare records. think about it.
but those figures have been tightly guarded for just this reason. the fraud is there for all to see if they can get any kinda peak at the records.
this is just the sort of sneaky shit that these guys have been doing since 2009, changing things for the better in small quiet ways.
