sentenced was Sheila Mathieu, the mother of Arizona Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, who pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the theft of government money for her role in a scam that prosecutors said stole $30 million from the federal Medicare program.

On July 30, 1965, at a public ceremony in Independence, Mo., President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed Medicare into law.

$30 million and Medicare has been in place for 52 years. Given the size and complexity of government handling the massive finances of a hoped for single payer health care system. After catching those people and the max sentence handed down was 14 & 1/2 months is it possible someone will try to figure out a fraud scheme?
