[4] In 2010 68 billion dollars was budgeted for Medicare Part D. [See Reference] These drugs could have been purchased for less than 30 billion dollars at the V.A. under their bidding system: This represents an overpayment of approximately 40 billion dollars and should run to at least 50 or 60 billion dollars in 2011. Add the fraudulent "legal" inpatient and outpatient billing condoned by Medicare and there is no limit to what is the "most efficient insurance system" will condone!
