You missed the point. It's a government run system riddled with fraud.
Now the government is trying to institute a *bigger* government run
system, which will still be administered by individuals. You don't

Perhaps we should come up with some 18th century punishment for
stealing from the government or 20th century communist punishment.

After all the Soviets knew what you had to do to maintain order in a
socialist society. 20 years of genuine hard labor might slow down
these medicare scammers.

That idea wouldn't scare them. Most don't know what 'hard labor' (or
any other, for that matter) means.
