"A sound, well written, and highly interesting examination of how Medicaid . . . has given far too many physicians an opportunity to 'mop up' fraudulently, for their own financial gain, some of the $61 billion annual cost of the program."--Marshall B. Clinard, author of "The Abuse of Corporate Power" "A searching analysis of a problem that is of enormous concern to every nation. It is a lively, insightful treatment of the Medicaid malady, using the best diagnostics available to contemporary criminology."--John Braithwaite, Australian National University
