“The US Department of Justice has announced charges for nearly 350 suspects in a sweeping bust linked to healthcare fraud. Among them are scores of medical professionals accused of scamming federal programs and private insurers.

The $6 billion in this is just the tip of the iceberg, there is more to find, but the underlying condition is far worse than the symptoms.

We have been sold on the complexity of systems being a good thing, it clearly is not. Complexity is a sham, it’s major failing is it’s ability to hide failure until the system is in collapse.
