The tangled web created by allowing lien claimants like Medicare to seek reimbursement of payments made for the medical treatment of an injured claimant from the claimant's monetary recovery was addressed recently in the case of Haro v. DHHS, USDC CV 09-134 TUC DCB (Tuscon, Dist. of Arizona, June 2011). The Haro court found that Medicare must wait until the amount owed on a lien is determined administratively before requiring payment. But Haro did nothing for the big picture: lien reimbursement claims fill office buildings with non-producing administrators and collection workers who create NOTHING of societal value, barely collect enough to pay their own salaries and spend their time siphoning off the nest eggs that claimants need to get back on their feet. Lien claims should be banned.
