Fake Health Care Scams

There’s a new scam going around in the Louisiana area: fake health insurance. An article on HoumaToday.com talks about how Louisiana scammers targeted people who were seeking cheap health coverage and instead took hundreds of dollars per month with no intent to assist the “insured” when medical assistance was needed. In all, scammers took advantage of 645 people in Louisiana alone. Seeing as Louisiana is #5 on the list of most uninsured states, it’s conceivable that these companies may have expanded to surrounding states as well including Texas (#1), Florida (#3), Mississippi (#6), as well as any other state with a vulnerability to a cheap health insurance scam.
