Employee Benefits Fraud like a really bad game of Monopoly

Employee benefits fraud is the real deal. When someone - an employee or provider commits benefits fraud they are stealing from the employer who offers the group benefit program - NOT the insurance carrier.

The consequences of benefits fraud are like the cards in the game of Monopoly. 

You don't get to pass go and collect your $200 because you're fired. Stealing from your employer is a serious and fire-able offence. This can also make it difficult to find a new job. 

If you're lucky you'll land a get out of jail free card. Even if you do, a fraud conviction results in a permanent criminal record. A permanent record will make doing fun things like travelling difficult. You could also have difficulty getting a job and achieving other life goals like buying a home.

Like the community chest card - you'll still have to pay your doctor's fee. Those who commit fraud could be responsible to repay the stolen money.
