Why do I say this? I say this because the wealthy had been given preferential treatment over all others in the (up until recently) republican-led congress. I say this because of the ‘kingdom’ mentality of our current administration. And even though democrats are now in control, I don’t see this trend reversing anytime soon.

Simply ask yourself this: What am I more likely to hear about tomorrow… “Universal health care has finally came to America!“, or “Attorneys have joined the non-taxpaying club, stating: Taxes are for the poor!“.

Doctors owe more than $1 billion in back taxes

Yet many in arrears still get hundreds of thousands in Medicare payments

WASHINGTON - Americans who have done battle with the IRS may not be happy to hear what thousands of doctors are getting away with. A government investigation finds that doctors and other medical providers who owe more than $1 billion in back taxes nevertheless are still collecting money from Medicare.

Jennifer Reich, a single mother who owns a Pilates studio, was notified two years ago that she owed $35,000 in back taxes.

“I was anxious and I was scared,” Reich says. “Because every morning I woke up, I didn’t know what our future was going to be.”

She says the government made her life miserable until she borrowed money to pay the taxes. However, it appears that some doctors delinquent on their taxes get very different treatment. A new report by government watchdogs finds that in 2005, 21,000 doctors and health care providers who owed $1.3 billion in payroll and income taxes continued to collect big money from Medicare.

Investigators also told Congress Tuesday that some doctors had been sanctioned for substandard care, financial misconduct, even criminal activity.
