Not all nursing homes are the same. As with any type of institution, some are good and others are not so good. Some provide marginal care while others regularly overbill the government for services provided to Medicare and Medicaid patients. It turns out that some types of facilities are more likely to overbill and provide sub-standard care than others. In particular, for-profit nursing homes submit more invalid claims to the federal government. Bloomberg News requested data on nursing homes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It found that 30 percent ...

The state of Maryland was going to kill Kirk Noble Bloodsworth. It was 1984. A nine-year-old girl was found in the woods near Baltimore, naked from the waist down, her head crushed by a chunk of concrete. In the ensuing manhunt, a neighbor fingered Bloodsworth based on a police sketch shown on TV. Overzealous police and prosecutors quickly got to work charging him with rape and murder. It only took the jury a couple of hours to return a guilty verdict. And this despite serious problems with the prosecution's side of the case, including two boys who failed to ...

A rash of thefts involving high intensity discharge (HID) headlights throughout South Florida led a group of consumers to fight back against a luxury auto giant that was manufacturing headlight systems that could easily be stolen and profiting handsomely off the sale of replacements.

The problem with the models included in the ...

Many mothers considering their options may turn to midwifery, the ancient practice of delivering children at home with the assistance of a friend, family member or professional who has delivered children in the past. While the cost of midwifery is less than half that of hospital births, some question whether the cost savings is worth it when you consider the risks to the infant and mother. A recent study by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists indicates that birth injury rates, including the likelihood of neonatal death, may be higher for at-home ...

The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act took effect in 1978 as a way to protect consumers from abusive debt collection practices. At the time this landmark legislation was created, few could imagine that in just 35 years, social media such as Facebook and Twitter would be an important presence in the daily lives of people in Erie County and elsewhere. Yet people now share a wealth of information online, and debt collectors also use social media, sometimes in ways that harass consumers and potentially violate consumer protection laws. Some of these practices have resulted ...

One of the most complex issues faced by the Probate and Family Court arises when one parent wishes to relocate out of Massachusetts with a minor child, or "remove" the child from the state. The removal statute found in M.G.L. ch. 208 Section 30 states that "A minor child of divorced parents...shall not, if of suitable age to signify his consent, be removed out of this Commonwealth without such consent, or, if under that age, without the consent of both parents, unless the court upon cause shown otherwise orders." Though the statute refers to a child ...

I am still attempting to accept events of November 7, 2012 - the day after the general election. No, it's not the election results that causes me concern. It's the intensely negative reactions of those whose views were not adopted by the majority of voters. The stock market took a large hit with the Dow Jones plummeting over 300 points. Murray Energy Corporation announced it was laying off more than 150 employees with its president and CEO, Robert E. Murray directly linking the move to the results of the presidential election. More disturbing was a report that a local McDonalds ...
