[CS-FSLUG] PD: Re: Christians taking action...

[Jim Isbell, W5JAI]

I am not sure I understand that referance.  Are not all sellers able
to take money from medicaid recipients?  I would say it is the medical
profession that takes advantage of that segment of government...but
the looser is NOT the government in that case.  They pay less than 25%
of what the doctors present as bills and the doctors write off the
rest.  I dont think anyone is being taken advantage of there.
