There was also a fascinating look at rampant fraud in the Medi-Cal system, also known as socialized medicine in California. It seems that it s extremely easy to bill Medi-Cal for things that aren t actually going to anyone, and there s very little that anyone can do to stop it. The most fascinating thing about this huge scandal is that it never seems to have occurred to the people at 60 Minutes that this is a good argument against socialized medicine. They even interviewed some professional ranters who were outraged at how this multi-million dollar business doesn t pay its fair share of taxes. Well, good, I thought.
Nobody pays their fair share.
We re all so incredibly overtaxed it s nauseating. The moment I heard his offensive whine, I hit the mute button. I never could stand that self-important cretin. All in all, I haven t missed Sixty Minutes. I watched it last week only because someone else turned it on.
