60 Minutes – 60 Billion Dollar Fraud (October 25, 2009)
Airdate 10/25/09 U.S. taxpayers are being charged for an arm and a leg – prosthetics, that is, and thousands of them – as part of a huge Medicaid and Medicare billing scam that’s siphoning off an estimated billion a year. In South Florida, Medicare fraud has pushed aside cocaine as the major criminal enterprise. The problem is so serious that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has organized a federal strike force. Steve Kroft reports.

Female Yakuza Tale – Inquisition and Torture
Female Yakuza Tale – Inquisition And Torture is an anarchistic apex in the career of Japanese cult director, Teruo Ishii, whose fifty year resume includes Horror of Malformed Men and Blind Beast Vs. Killer Dwarf. Notoriously lacking restraint, sexy ‘pinky violence’ star, Reiko Ike, returns in this gonzo sequel to Sex & Fury following the further exploits of Ocho, a thief and gambler running afoul of evil yakuza in Meiji Era Tokyo. Aided by a lone wolf adventurer (Ryohei Uchida), Ocho investigates a ruthless gang of cutthroats who are using indentured prostitutes as drug mules to smuggle heroin from China. Director Ishii throws everything but the kitchen sink into this mind-altering sexploitation action saga, all culminating in a bloody mobster massacre replete with sultry swordswomen. Full of intoxicating mayhem and uproarious kabuki-striptease antics, Female Yakuza Tale – Inquisition & Torture is freak-out filmmaking at its finest!

If you want to know where Quentin Tarantino got some of his inspiration for Kill Bill, check out Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture, a spicy slice of Japanese sexploitation from 1973. It’s a brazenly unrestrained sequel to Norifumi Suzuki’s similarly trashy Sex & Fury (another cult favorite among fans of Japanese pulp cinema), and director Teruo Ishii demonstrates his disdain for sequels by dishing up a lurid crime tale filled with rampant sex, female nudity, and blood-spurting ultraviolence. Set in Meiji-era Tokyo circa 1905, the outlandish story kicks into high gear when renegade thief and gambler Ocho (Reiko Ike, fully recovered from the bloodbath in Sex & Fury) is joined by a “lone wolf” drifter (Ryohei Uchida) in pursuit of a gang of murderous thugs with connections to the gruesome “crotch gouge” murders (involving deadly injuries that are best left to the imagination). By the time they close in on a disgusting kingpin who’s been enslaving prostitutes to smuggle Chinese heroin in their nether regions, Ocho has recruited a small army of sexy, sword-wielding hookers who aren’t feeling the least bit merciful. The result is an outrageous orgy of boobs, bullets, and bloodshed, carried out with abundant humor, chaotic choreography, and dazzling use of colorful low-budget settings. Befitting such a delirious dose of sexplo-trash, this high-quality, beautifully mastered DVD release caters to its intended audience with an authoritative audio commentary by Chris Desjardins (author of Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film), whose expert programming of this and other “Pinky Violence” films (at the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles) resulted in a renewed appreciation for mind-blowing Asian action films that are defiantly off the beaten path. High-minded prudes and the weak-of-heart are advised to stay away! –Jeff Shannon

Protecting Your Family’s Assets in Florida: How to Legally Use Medicaid to Pay for Nursing Home and Assisted Living Care
In Florida, private-pay costs at nursing facilities can exceed ,000 per month. Many families cannot afford to pay such excessive amounts which can total more than ,000 per year. The Florida Medicaid program can offer a solution to the high cost of nursing home and assisted living care. But Medicaid has such strict asset-and-income limitations that most people believe it can be used by only the very poor. Fortunately, the U.S. Congress and Florida law provide opportunities to help families receive financial assistance through Medicaid and protect hard-earned assets. With proper planning, even those whose assets and income greatly exceed the limits for Medicaid can qualify for benefits. Florida Eldercare Attorney John R. Frazier describes multiple strategies that families can use to qualify for Medicaid assistance. Protecting Your Family’s Assets in Florida includes details covering the following topics, specific to both Florida and Eldercare: An Overview of the Benefits of Medicaid; Three Florida Agencies that Handle Medicaid; The Three Tests for Medicaid Qualification; Three Medicaid Programs for Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities; Veterans Benefits; How Single People Can Protect Their Assets; Additional Ways Married Individuals Can Protect Their Assets; The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) in Florida; Other Important Medicaid Planning Considerations; and, Life Care Planning. Whether planning for a family’s future or in immediate, desperate need of lawful answers for the reader, a spouse or a loved one, Protecting Your Family’s Assets in Florida can help. Written in easy-to-read language, it provides examples for the most common Medicaid scenarios faced by families in Florida. Complete with a glossary that defines terms specific to both Eldercare law and applications for Medicaid in Florida.
