Hello, I just found out an a retired couple telling me without any hesitation that in order to get free medicare, they take out their retirement social security payment in order for to show govt that they have no money and get free health care. They are both in their 70's. How come govt can catch this kind of fraud? Should I report them

Who would I be calling? I am not sure about insurance iinU.S. but is it medicare for older ppl?.. Basically they take their retirement pnmt and show govt they have no income to receive benefits. Can I do.this confidential. And whom do in contact?

If they are retired they are entitled to Medicare. There is $68 per month taken from their social security checks which is their co-pay. Now ther is supplemental security income for low income seniors which is means tested, but Medicare IS the medical program designed for retired people and one they are perfectly entitled to. No fraud there

All senior qualify for Medicare as long as they worked (which if they collect social security, they qualify)... And I think perhaps you can give them a break, there 70 years old for crying out loud, it's not like they are able to go out and get a job to get health insurance or even qualify to buy health insurance (no company would cover them) so Medicare would be their ONLY means to health coverage. Without it, they WOULD be bankrupt and we the taxpayers would be paying MORE to cover them. At 70 years old, they paid into the system, the Medicare system was put in place for exactly this purpose... Chill out on the reporting of poor senior citizens... There are I am sure many other legit cheaters in the system that you would be better served to report! Why they withdraw their money? Who knows? Perhaps it is confusion about the system, they are 70 years old after all! Have a little sympathy for your elders IMO....
