>>Hmm .. loaded terminology? Ambulance chasers?

Sigh.

"Ambulance chaser" is a common tern that readily is located in wikipedia and online dictionary. I have not invented an emotive misuse.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ambulance_chaser

"Victim" also is readily located in Wikipedia and dictionaries, but the definition does NOT match your use. You are misusing "victim" as a metaphor for "patient" as an emotive, loaded device.

>>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/14/salomon-melgen-medicare-fraud_n_7066336.html

This is newsworthy because it is so uncommon. Extrapolation would be similar to finding a case of TB in Hamilton and declaring the city to be an infected wasteland.

>>Some estimates have put the annual cost of Medicare fraud at $10 - 20 billion. Since I can't submit a Medicare claim myself there is a "health care" provider involved in it somehow.

The only connection between this and the previous comment, is the target. We get it- you have a thing about physicians. With the privilege of both being and not being a physician, I can tell you that for the most part, physicians are ordinary folk who tend to be smarter than Joe Average, or at least were good at exams, and who underwent residencies that used to be appalling and now are only difficult under conditions that others never would tolerate. You have to really, really want to practice to make it through. Meanwhile, for at least a decade the selfish greedies you imagine have known to do banking followed by law rather than medicine. Medicine increasingly is dominated by women who want flexible hours and to be on salaries so they can focus on patients rather than paperwork to get the bills paid. Your focus on individuals is not representative of a profession and perhaps you should focus your ire on the culprit rather than firing a blunderbuss.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
