Book Description

September 10, 2009
It is in this climate of government spending and fraud that the Center for Health Transformation offers an in-depth book on healthcare fraud. Given that healthcare costs make up around one-seventh of America s economy, it is imperative at this time to ensure that funding goes to appropriate people and organizations, not crooks seeking to rob taxpayers. We hope to begin a serious national discussion about fraud, the perverse incentives that allow such fraud to flourish, and key strategies to bring these schemes to an end.


Editorial Reviews

Review

The scope of fraud in the health care sector, particularly in Medicare and Medicaid, is staggering. Stop Paying the Crooks does a terrific job of identifying the perverse incentives in the system while laying out specific, common sense reforms and solutions. This book should be required reading for every policymaker who believes we can fix health care by spending more money and expanding government s role while continuing to ignore the causes of widespread fraud. --U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D.

Waste and fraud in our health care system has resulted in the loss of billions of dollars that should have been dedicated to better health and reducing cost. While I may not share some of the views expressed in this book, it is important for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to work together to address it. Eliminating fraud and improving the quality of our health care system is something upon which we can find common ground. --Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle

We cannot continue with a system that wastes billions of dollars each year in fraud and abuse and too often provides inadequate care. Stop Paying the Crooks opens the important dialogue that is necessary today to begin the shift toward better care at lower cost for those who need it, not for crooks. --Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush
