The Times (Zuma Times) has just been contacted by a patient of LA County Health Services who claims to have been billed $2600 for a visit that should have only cost $200. Another bill charged $450, for a visit that should have only cost $300 according to the rate card. Now could this just be a random mistake affecting one person; or perhaps this shadiness finally backfired on them when they pulled this "overcharge racket" on someone who knew what was really up, and they contacted ZumaTimes.com because they feel this is more than a one time innocent mistake. INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS...Start your engines!
SHADY REVIEW: Lots of new items piling up in my email box (zumadogg@gmail.com), but there are previous stories from this week that still deserve attention, and not everyone catches every story; so here's a recap of ZD blog posts from this week, as the next round of stories are prepared. (The shadiness never ends. It's like trying to capture Niagara Falls with a Dixie cup.)
Then post comments or additional info about any of these stories on this Mayor Sam thread.
SHADY REPORT WEEK IN REVIEW FOR 2/21/08:
VIDEO: How come Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa only speaks in short phrases, one or two words at a time? Listen to him declare the Federal government "absolutely criminal" as though this four time bar flunkie is his own judge and jury to declare the Feds behavior "ABSOLUTELY" criminal. Hey, Judge Tony...YOU are the one who keeps losing in Federal court. Shuddupayouface! CLICK HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE VIDEO OF THE "ONE WORD SPEAKING MAYOR" THAT JOHN & KEN/KFI REFERRED TO.
