Stop Paying the Crooks

Praise
“The scope of fraud in the health care sector, particularly in Medicare and Medicaid, is staggering. Stop Paying the Crooks does a terrific job of identifying the perverse incentives in the system while laying out specific, common sense reforms and solutions. This book should be required reading for every policymaker who believes we can fix health care by spending more money and expanding government’s role while continuing to ignore the causes of widespread fraud.” - U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D.
“Our healthcare system needlessly wastes hundreds of billions of dollars annually through waste, fraud, and abuse. This book is the most serious effort I’ve seen to date articulating the challenges and outlining real solutions. Hopefully it will spark a genuine and long-overdue debate about how to reclaim scarce health care dollars from criminals and crooks.” – U.S. Congressman Michael Burgess, M.D.
“I applaud the leadership of the Center for Health Transformation in the fight against waste, fraud and abuse, while advancing patient-centered, market-driven health care reforms. Policymakers can learn a lot from this compilation of commonsense solutions.”– U.S. Congressman Paul Ryan
The average American would be dismayed by the amount of fraud, waste, and abuse with healthcare generally, but Medicare and Medicaid specifically. Improvement is a national imperative and this book will serve as the starting point for reform. – Michael Leavitt, Former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
“Waste and fraud in our health care system has resulted in the loss of billions of dollars that should have been dedicated to better health and reducing cost. While I may not share some of the views expressed in this book, it is important for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to work together to address it. Eliminating fraud and improving the quality of our health care system is something upon which we can find common ground.” – Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle
“We cannot continue with a system that wastes billions of dollars each year in fraud and abuse and too often provides inadequate care. Stop Paying the Crooks opens the important dialogue that is necessary today to begin the shift toward better care at lower cost for those who need it – not for crooks.” —Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush
