Rep. Tim Bishop & A Vision of Socialized Medicine for Long Island April 9, 2012 Long Island Rep.Tim Bishop is suddenly concerned about waste and fraud in Medicare, so much so, that he recently held a series of Medicare meetings for seniors in several Long Island locations to discuss the elimination of waste and fraud. Some of the talk centered around unnecessary testing. It’s important to mention that Bishop voted for Obamacare which includes IPAB (Independent Patient Advisory Board) and which cut half a billion from Medicare. Both of those issues will likely mean rationing of health services to individuals based on decisions by 15 government bureaucrats in D.C. Seniors are particularly vulnerable.
