The only time I have seen incorrect billing was an a random dentist with an out of state address with an Anglo name. I can't remember the state but I remember it was a regular state where you wouldn't expect fraud rings.

My MIL is on Medicare and has had many pointless procedures done, or she's been told to go to hospital when there was no need.

These crooks are the worst of the worst. I would personally have them publically humiliated, before being thrown in jail for the rest of their natural lives. The fact that this goes on in Miami more than other places makes it tough to trust ANYONE in the medical profession here. This is the last place in the US that I'd ever want to get sick (and I'm not bashing Miami for the sake of it).

I don't thing so.My homeland is hispanic too; however, I didn't come to live to US just to learn the cuban way. I studied english for three years at nights while working and there is no reason why others can do the right thing too and do the minimum effort to respect this country.

You sound like a socialist (im kidding) lol

Your right man, 100%. Miami is absurd in MANY ways, and the medical system here is one such example.

^^^ I think we all understand he means people that Speak Spanish. Stop trolling. Miami is many things depending where you live. If you live in little Haiti or little Havana, Dont expect the neighborhood or your neighbors to look like star island material.

Most likely, I don't think I look, speak or act like someone from Ocala, upstate NY, Memphis, East LA or the Bronx like Jenny from the block.

A socialist *gasp*? Surely, you jest?

I don't fit any particular label when it comes to political views. I hate all politicians equally!

And yes, the medical system here is BS. It's a big cash cow, rampant with fraud, unnecessary treatments and over medication. It's like much of the US, only it's amplified here 10 fold, like many other things. What annoys me is the ridiculously lenient sentences these fraudsters get. You'd probably get more jail time for stealing $1,000 from a post office than stealing millions from Medicare.

This is one thing I hate about Miami - pointless aggression in the form of reckless driving. This was a relatively empty highway, yet the idiot in the yellow car felt the need to cut me off and drive over solid white lines, after tailgating me at 70mph since the previous exit:

Such driving is a common occurrence in Miami. I just managed to catch it on my phone's camera this time. What the camera didn't catch is the ******* tailgating me for no reason and the distance between his car and mine doesn't look so bad from the phone's camera.

Where are the cops when you need them? He wasn't driving a Civic, but he was driving a car that seems to be popular among Miami douchebag drivers. JM, people may doubt you, but I'm prepared to catch Miami's ills on camera, so that no one can dispute them. You should do the same!

The question I always ask myself is "Is this really necessary?". People drive like c**ts and act like c**ts in Miami because they can and they feel they have the world's biggest balls. 'nuff said.
