More incredulity for you.
"Caritas Carney doctors group settles with Justice
The doctors group for Caritas Carney Hospital in Dorchester will pay the federal government $347,456 to settle charges that it submitted inflated claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare, the health system for the military. Caritas Carney Medical Group submitted doctor provider numbers for services that were performed by nurse practitioners, the Department of Justice said. By making the claims appear as though doctors had provided the services, the group was able to seek more money. The allegedly fraudulent claims were for services provided at local nursing homes between 2000 and 2006. As part of the agreement, in which the group does not admit liability, the inspector general for the US Department of Health and Human Services will oversee the Carney doctors for three years. Caritas Carney is part of Caritas Christi Health System, a six-hospital chain owned by the Archdiocese of Boston (Boston Globe)."
And as if that wasn't injury enough, let's add an insult.
"Airlines rescind baggage fees for military personnel
What were they paying for to begin with? Don't the airlines support the troops?
Some airlines have begun waiving expensive baggage fees for military personnel on official travel when they carry heavy duffel bags stuffed with combat gear. Faced with criticism from veterans groups and others that the fees are a financial burden, several airlines have made exceptions for service members. Air Tran Airways, Delta Air Lines, and Northwest Airlines said they were waiving all or most of their baggage fees for active members of the US military on official travel. American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and Horizon Air began waiving the fees to check a third bag for active service members (AP)."
How about waving it for everybody, you frikkin' robbing looters!?
