I participated in several of the investigations mentioned in Bill Halamandaris's The Care Gaps and I am amazed at how vividly he captured them. In this spicy, no-holds barred account, he shows what it's like to go after crooks who are feeding atthe government trough. Sometimes the schemes are so outrageous they're almost funny. But the more somber note that sounds throughout this book is that we need sweeping health reform, both to eliminate the fraud and waste and to close the many gaps thatcurrently exist in our health care system. The author make a powerful case for such reform in The Care Gaps.

The Care Gaps, written by one of Capitol Hill's foremost investigators, William Halamandaris, provides fascinating details about incredible schemes, most of them netting millions of dollars for their perpetrators. These actual accounts of fraudulent unlicensed doctors, defective health devices, and other complex and potentially life-threatening curiosities are both entertaining and eye-opening. A reading must for all serious health policy professionals.

This witty, information-packed book on the 10 million or so Americans who make their living from the medical-industrial complex spares no sacred cows. Instead, we get a behind-the-scenes look at unsavory doctors, disreputable insurance companies, sleazy Medicaid providers, shady health product merchandisers and others, and learn how they defraud America's health care system. In a time when Congress is being assailed for its own out-of-control spending and perks, it is refreshing to see how dedicatedCongressional investigators have exposed the waste, abuse and inefficiencies that must ultimately be addressed before reform of our health care system can take place.
