Nationwide Bust Nabs 111 Medical Professionals in Massive Medicare Fraud

[WAPO] More than 700 law enforcement agents fanned out to arrest dozens of people accused of illegally billing Medicare more than $225 million. The arrests are the latest in a string of major busts in the past two years as authorities have struggled to pare the fraud that's believed to cost the government between $60 billion and $90 billion each year. Stopping Medicare's budget from hemorrhaging that money will be key to paying for President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

111 crooks in the medical profession is just the tip of a very big iceberg.
