...but I'm not sure freezing new enrollments by alleged legitimate companies seeking Medicare and Medicaid money is the way to go. Long prison terms and deportations for existing fraud would be plenty of deterrence, imo. I'd actually like to see enrollments stay just like they are so they can act as "honey pots." Don't freeze enrollments; use them to catch the criminals feeding off of our public assistance to the detriment of the people who need it.
