Eight days ago I reported mysterious billings to my Medicare account: https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2023/07/02/has-the-criminal-biden-regime-utterly-and-totally-corrupted-medicare/
Two were billings for expired Covid tests. From a notice accompanying the second batch of 8 test kits, Medicare is paying for the surplus products of Covid providers to be sent at Medicare’s expense to those qualified by age for Medicare. The notice said: “Tests are totally free, paid for by the Government. Please Do Not Return.”
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
“Paid for by the Government” means paid for by Medicare.
Why is Medicare reimbursing Covid test providers for expired tests that Americans on Medicare did not request?
This is an important question. We are constantly being told by Republicans and conservatives that we cannot afford Medicare and Social Security. Yet the Republicans and conservatives do not complain about our ability to afford 800 military bases around the world, endless wars, and a massive $1.4 trillion annual military/security complex budget that serves nothing but the profits of the armaments industries and the unaccountable powers of the CIA and NSA.
Why did the Biden regime commit limited Medicare funds to reimbursing Covid test providers for Covid tests that no one needs?
I have no need for 24 Covid tests. I keep the test kits and their mailing labels so that I can produce the tests and their mailing labels when I am accused of lying and providing misinformation. The last batch of 8 tests just arrived a couple of days ago from Covigen Medtox Lab Inc. in Ashburn VA 20147 via USPS marked “Do Not Return, Government Program.”
There you have it, the utterly corrupt and criminal Biden regime is using scarce Medicare dollars to subsidize Covid test providers. Note that these Covid tests are arriving after the Biden regime was forced by the facts to declare the state of emergency to be over. My latest batch of 8 Covid tests says: “This product has not been FDA cleared or approved, but has been authorized by FDA under an EUA. This product is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of Covid-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food Drug, and Cosmetic Act.”
In other words, Medicare paid for delivery to me of 24–so far–Covid tests that are no longer authorized for use. How many more useless tests sent at Medicare’s expense will I receive?
Make what you will of this.
I would like to hear from my American readers. Tell me older readers, are you receiving Covid test kits in the mail billed to your Medicare account?
If 40 years ago i had published my July 2 article, I would have been overwhelmed with calls from reporters for more information so they could investigate what was going on. But I didn’t hear one word. Not a single call from a reporter. Not even one email from one reader. Apparently fraud and corruption are so much a part of American life that no one any longer pays the slightest attention. Lately I have been thinking that I am wasting my time and making myself a target by providing information on this website.
