Massive fraud crackdown goes nowhere<\/p>\n

<\/b>I hope you’ve got a little extra in the piggy bank — because ObamaCare is going to need a lot more help. <\/p>\n

Don’t want to pay? Tough. Don’t have the money? Too bad. The key word here is sacrifice — and you’re playing the part of the lamb while the Washington party rolls on. <\/p>\n

The little Bolsheviks behind ObamaCare claim one of the ways they’ll pay for their socialist medicine scheme is through cost savings…like eliminating the $60 billion lost each year to Medicare fraud. <\/p>\n

There’s just one problem: We’ve either got the world’s smartest crooks, or the Keystone Kops have been placed in charge of catching them. <\/p>\n

Two years into a major crackdown on Medicare freeloaders, fraudsters and other crooks…and we’ve got practically nothing to show for it. Medicare fraud prosecutions were up just 2 percent last year. <\/p>\n

That’s it — 2 percent. <\/p>\n

Since this crackdown began under President Bush in 2007, it’s proof that failure is truly a bipartisan effort. That’s two different administrations who’ve tried — and failed — to rein in Medicare fraud. <\/p>\n

And as a taxpayer, you’re getting the bill three times over. The first bill is for those $60 billion in fraudulent claims paid each year. The second bill is to pay for all those Kops, investigators and prosecutors who aren’t cracking down on it (I’m sure they’re enjoying those nice offices in Miami, though). And the third bill will come due with ObamaCare — when you’ll be forced to pony up extra bucks because the savings never materialized. <\/p>\n

I’ve done the math. For many Americans, their monthly ObamaCare bills will be the biggest cost in their household — even more expensive than mortgage payments, and that’s if you believe the numbers they’re throwing around right now. <\/p>\n

Trust me, it’ll be more — a lot more. <\/p>\n

Remove those imaginary savings from the equation, and when the real bill comes due, no health-care system in the world will be able to ease the pain. <\/p>\n

They can’t seem to find the freeloaders and fraudsters — but they’ll sure as heck find you. And then, Obama’s call for change will turn into cries of, "Buddy, can you spare some change?" <\/p>\n

That’s not the only trouble Big Brother’s brewing for you… keep reading to find out how they’re tracking your babies<\/p>\n
