Bilking the prison system

Wild reimbursement sprees in the unregulated California prison system:

One urologist charged the state, read: we taxpayers, $2,036 per hour. An orthopedic surgeon managed to invent the 30-hour day and charge accordingly, billing the state nearly $1.5 million in one year.

Another doctor who was paid more than $500,000 in a 10-month period, provided inaccurate test results for Hepatitis C.
