(PRWEB) June 11, 2008 -- Americas Watchdog and its Corporate Whistle Blower Center have put in four years investigating Medicare or Medicaid over billing across the US. According to the group, "If the average tax payer knew how bad Medicare or Medicaid fraud and over billing were, there would be a revolt. It's so bad that on the low end we figure at a minimum Medicare/Medicaid fraud-over billing costs tax payers an extra $20 billion dollars each year. Because the US government offers a reward of 15% or more, we intend to get a financial partner in each of the worst cities for Medicare or Medicaid fraud and over billing to attack the problem, expose the bad guys, and get well paid for doing it." Potential Investors/Partners can call Americas Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466 to find out more.
