So.. if a MD has made a determination upon reviewing medical records submitted, that makes them a "patient", no?
So if they made a bad determination, I see no reason why the doctors can't be sued directly. Surely Social Security knows who reviewed it, so the records can be produced by FOIA.
Sure, these docs made .5M$ . But when these things are brought to light, have a way to make them much more painful and costly. Fraud by "rich people" usually isn't looked highly upon at jury trials.
Potentially true. However that's what medical malpractice insurance is usually for. And if they're found to be doing fraud according to a court, lets just say they are in for a very unpleasant time.
Unfortunately that will likely happen right after you are allowed to sue individual police officers for assaulting innocent people and illegal arrests.
Even if the doctors could be sued directly is that necessarily better than going after the flawed system with the additional hope that the individual is dismissed?
