Undocumented Immigrants draining social services? A lie or a Lie.

I really question the Notion or lie that Undocumented Immigrants draining social services or brankrupt Hospitals.

If they were too old to work chances are they would not be here. And if they can not work due to some physical problem chances are they would not be here either. The vast majorities of Undocumented Workers entering U.S. are between 18-30 years old and are fit for work. I think the stats on this so-called social services drain is more fiction than fact. And again if a few they are not paying their fair share of the taxes you can not blame them, they do not sending the tax money, the employer does.

I will continue exposing the fact that Hospitals, CEO's, Managers, vendors, Suppliers, even some Doctors are the burden and the major factor of draining U.S. social services and not the Undocumented Immigrants.

Health care continues to top the government's list of federal fraud investigation priorities, yielding the lion's share of recoveries in false claims cases in 2008.

The latest figures from the Dept. of Justice show enforcement officials recouped $1.34 billion in settlements and judgments under the False Claims Act in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. Of that total, $1.12 billion, or 84%, came from health care entities. The act gives federal officials authority to prosecute fraudulent billing of any government program.
That number represents a drop from the $1.54 billion in recoveries reported in 2007 and a record $2.2 billion in 2006. But that doesn't mean federal prosecutors have let up efforts to combat health care fraud, said Russell Hayman, a partner and health care fraud expert with McDermott Will & Emery LLP in Los Angeles.
The government tallied its biggest returns in 2008 from settlements with pharmaceutical firms Merck & Co. Inc. and Cephalon Inc., and managed care company Amerigroup, with recoveries ranging from $225 million to $361 million.
