1 Durable medical equipment for example power chairs, where they buy the chair rather than lease it. In addition there have been schemes prosecuted where the chair vendors have in house physicians write the recommendations. In general there is the whole durable medical equipment field where the vendors lobby congress to prevent a competitive bidding situation for this equipment. Since every district has vendors in this area, they have a lot of lobbying strength just like the vampires of wall street.

2 See American Greed on CNBC for reports of fake patients and unneeded proceedures, issues include ID theft and the like as well.
