By releasing this now. It certainly sounds like people (1%) are abusing this....but, why was this only now addressed?

It reminds me of the Reagan "Welfare Queens" Promotion...that filtered down to Clinton promoting the "Welfare Reform Act" which cracked down on abuse but ultimately hurt thousands of Welfare Recipients and their children.

I'm just saying...I hope these Criminal Doctors get their licenses REVOKED...but, I worry this is just Repugs pushing Obama to do the Cuts to Medicare that were what he was told he should do.
