Talk:Health care fraud

Relation to quackery/medical fraud

The title of article suggests that it duplicates the area already covered by the article on medical fraud (currently named Quackery). There is no clear indication what the distinction between the two article is.

Since the article's content at the moment mostly relates to health insurance fraud, I suggest that the article be moved to health insurance fraud (which is currently a redirect to False insurance claims).

If it is to remain with the current name, how should we focus/distinguish the two articles to avoid duplication? Zodon (talk) 23:22, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

This same concern was aired here:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Quackery#relation_between_new_article_on_health_care_fraud_and_this_article

Here's what I wrote there:

• "..... While quackery may involve deliberate deception and fraud, that is far from always the case, and it usually involves methods that are not legitimate, or it involves exaggerated and unjustified claims for methods that may have a legitimate role, often in some other area than the one connected with the false claims. Health care fraud is deliberate and usually involves legitimate methods."

Additonal reading item - needs sources

The following text was added by an IP user.

"For a comprehensive analysis of health care fraud and abuse in the US, see Terry L. Leap, "Phantom Billing, Fake Prescriptions, and the High Cost of Medicine: Health Care Fraud and What to Do about It" (Cornell University Press, 2011)."

I was unable to find any reviews of this work indicating that it is an appropriate item for an additional references section. Moved here pending discussion. Zodon (talk) 23:42, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Covid "vaccines"

There needs to be a section on the bogus injections for Covid19 202.27.212.13 (talk) 04:36, 30 November 2022 (UTC) For example, the bogus "speed of science" excuse for rushed, untested jabs Link — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.27.212.13 (talk) 04:41, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Are you referring to homeopathic nosode "vaccines"? All homeopathic nostrums are bogus. Please provide examples of whatever you're thinking of and the reliable sources we can use to document them. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 04:42, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
