AARP releases new fraud study

A new study conducted by the Washington, DC-based American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) claims that as many as 90% of Americans think health care fraud is on the rise, while nearly as many (80%) aren’t aware of any attempt on the part of the government to fight the problem. AARP notes that another 72% believed health care fraud is so widespread that if abuse were eliminated, the Medicare program would remain solvent.
