Harry Posted October 30, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 30, 2009 Nineteen Medicaid cheats - including some with luxury cars and million-dollar homes - concocted wacky lies to collect insurance benefits meant for the poor, authorities said Thursday. The list of accused scoundrels tripped up by "Operation Free Ride" included a Hamptons homeowner who claimed to get by on $5,000 a year, an artist who cried poverty despite owning two $1 million Manhattan apartments and a New Jersey woman who claimed she lived in her Manhattan nail salon.

SubwayGuy Posted October 30, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 30, 2009 Nail these bastards and strip them of every dollar and cent in their life. Then give them a coffee cup and let them beg. I'll be ignoring their whimpering for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman Posted October 31, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 31, 2009 These people had between them millions in cash and properties, yet they're facing jail time for a mere pittance. This is a perfect example of what greed can get you. Just ask Martha Stewart, a woman with an estimated worth of $600 million who went to jail for five months over $45,000. In the end, is it really worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
