I've seen sites like that for Medicaid as well. It's so irritating. You have to feel bad for those not-internet-savvy folks who fall for it.

I swear to God every government service has Predators out there doing that shit. Even my town Water Department has big fucking banners plastered all over their website saying they're not affiliated with this bill paying service that barely technically doesn't break any laws but definitely lets people think it's an official way to pay their water bill when all they do is tack on a huge fee and mail the town of check that usually results in a late payment anyway because it doesn't follow the proper format

I always see these daytime TV ads for Medicare stuff that's clearly targeted to take advantage of elderly people. It's messed up.

During Medicare enrollment season -- which just ended -- it's not just daytime TV.

It's a predatory world out there for the elderly. Everyone wants to take their money and take advantage of their very age.
