For ever fraudulent claim a company pays out on they have to raise rates for others to recuperate that money. It's extremely unfair but the companies see no other choice.

Fraud on government run programs may be even worse. Not only do we pay for these programs with our tax dollars but it may mean others can't get the help they need. Children may not get proper medical care because adults have used the money that should have gone to them. There is also the possibility that the programs will not be available forever.

Procedures that may save lives may not be covered because of fraudulent activity. People suffer because of those in our world who abuse the system.

Those who provide health care may be just as guilty as anyone else. There are times when bills are padded and procedures are charged for that were not preformed. Every time this happens it is fraud.

You may be able to prove if the procedure wasn't done though.

This can be dangerous as well.
