Last month, the federal government won its case against Gary Winner, the CEO of Planned Eldercare, an Illinois medical-supply company. Winner had been charged following an intensive investigation which found that his company preyed on older patients by asking for their Medicare number in return for free medical devices.

Many of Winner?s marks had diabetes, and he sent them what every diabetic needs: blood-testing strips and lancets, which they use to monitor their blood glucose levels?some of them several times a day
