With the Obama Administration and Democrat leaders in both houses of the US Congress desperately pushing a major overhaul—many say government takeover—of US health care, a report obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police’s Fraud & White Collar Crime Committee sheds light on the fraud and corruption already existing in government medical programs. And one can only imagine the amount of corruption that will occur with total government control of physicians and pharmaceuticals.

For example, those Americans demanding the US government to allow citizen’s access to foreign prescription drugs should heed the concerns of the world’s foremost health organization. According to the World Health Organization’s definition a counterfeit medicine “is one which is deliberately and fraudulently mislabeled with respect to identity and/or source.
Counterfeiting can apply to both branded and generic products and counterfeit products may include products with the correct ingredients or with the wrong ingredients, without active ingredients, with insufficient active ingredients or with fake packaging.â€
