(Jones and Jing) Though citizens might not see the effects of health care fraud directly, everyone is impacted in one way or another either through increased taxes, high insurance costs, or the inability to afford health care coverage. While we all hear about major frauds in the system, a majority of the frauds are small and usually go through undetected, unreported, or seriously underreported.

Donald Trump’s is a con artist who resembles his own university; he scams people out of their money, and his whole campaign is a scam. Trump lied to people on live TV saying that his university got an A approval rating by the Better Business Bureau.

For example, Sicko reports that there are nearly four times as many lobbyists in Washington D.C. pushing for their clients' agenda as there are members of Congress.
