"The FBI arrested 46 doctors and nurses across the country this week in the largest Medicare fraud bust ever. In total, 243 people were arrested in 17 cities for allegedly billing Medicare for $712 million worth of patient care that was never given or unnecessary."

My Comments About The Article AboveIt seems every time I turn around someone is trying to scam the system or some other individual. We've seen countless times how Wall Street bilked investors. Then the bankers who screwed over homeowners' mortgages. Now this.

Most all of our nation's troubles boil down to taking personal responsibility. Too many fail to realize what happens when our only concern is our own being. By not taking into consideration others who have to live on this planet too we are only making it worse for ourselves.

When it comes to the shootings, the common environment we all share or the well being and fair dealings with other people it seems too few are able to understand how we all are interconnected in some way.



There's no amount of religion, laws or regulations that can fix this. I'm not sure if education can solve this either. This is something that either is or isn't in the hearts of people. I'm not sure there is even a way. Nor understand the source of the reasons for this. One thing I am certain of... garbage in equals garbage out. No matter how well intentions are if people don't carry those intentions through to action we're all screwed.

Selfishness is like a disease. It spreads itself starting with one person whom the next says they did to me so the hell with them. Soon others then justify their actions telling themselves everyone else is doing it so why shouldn't I?

Everyone seems to be pointing the finger at everyone else. There's too few left able to see their own reflection in the mirror as to how they are part of the problems they helped create.




Somehow its' the..
* school districts' fault if kids don't show up for school, behave badly or fail to study for themselves.
* medical patient's fault for not paying out the $100,000 they owe for a single treatment or prescription.
* doctors fault when people show up w/o insurance and expect unlimited services for free.
* city's fault for not being forced to provide free or low income housing.
* bank's fault for lending money someone knew they couldn't afford.
* idiot politician's fault after voters put him/her into office sometimes multiple times.
* blame of absentee baby daddies after some women became pregnant as if they had no hand in it.
* and on.. and on... and onEveryone of us make mistakes. The important thing is to admit in most instances many of the bad things that happen are a result of them. Nobody's perfect that's for sure. But this constant finger pointing and justifying as a excuse to continue doing them is carrying ignorance to the extreme. This will neither benefit individuals nor this nation

No one should expect someone outside of themselves will come to the rescue at the end of the day. The bottom line is we are each accountable and will suffer the consequences thereof if we don't care about others as well as ourselves.
