But can you really blame the guy?
At newsday.com, we find that Rocco DiNapoli of South Setauket admitted claiming he was still married so that his ex-wife would be covered by his school district New York health insurance plan.
As difficult as it is to find and keep decent health coverage these days, it's easy to see how health insurance fraud might seem more acceptable.
There are 3 million uninsured New Yorkers unable to meet the rising costs of health coverage.
That's 25% of the New York population.
With health care costs skyrocketing well beyond inflation, and employers covering less and less for their employees, the situation has become critical.
Until New York health insurance is more available to its citizens, there will likely be a lot more health insurance fraud, alongside the medical debt, and unnecessary suffering that comes out of a broken healthcare system.
