Here in Italy there is the public health care. Among the different services, the State gives some money for each patient to the "family" doctors who take care of them. What happened then? It seems in Sicily doctors were taking care of 51.287 already dead people and then getting payed by the State for it, a fraud for about 14 millions. And these are only the discovered cases in ONE of the 20 italian regions.

In the 90's a couple of our political parties had done the same type of scam. They had people who where dead, did not exist, and people no longer as a member on their list, and received extra money each year that way. The scam was not as big as the one you are referring to, but since we don't have a lot of scams in general in Norway (at least they don't surface as often here as in for instance in Italy), they made big headlines and there was a big clean up and thorough checks of all the political parties to make sure no one came out of this without being punished for their crime.
