Shirley Shupp sits in her Houston, Texas apartment Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2009 and talks about how she called Medicare to report receiving medical equipment she never asked for. Shupp contacted her local Senior Medicare Patrol, which did its own research and then referred the matter to investigators. The equipment, worth thousands of dollars, was returned, the case was handed over to prosecutors and the perpetrators were charged with Medicare fraud. (AP Photo/Pat Sullivan)
