Health service abuse exposed United Press International SAN ANTONIO — Health care organizations with a large number of physicians on their boards, such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield, are characterized by lax fraud enforce ment and high pay for doctors, a so ciologist said Tuesday. Paul Jesilow, John Espar and Henry Pontell disclosed the results of a lengthy study on fraud and abuse in health care institutions. Their study was part of a wider in vestigation funded by the Justice De partment. “They (doctors and hospital ad ministrators) may be screwing the programs,” Jesilow said. “What they are doing is sending hills for ser\ ices they never render or sending bills for services that are not needed. The estimates indicate that 10 to 25 per cent of a program’s cost (such as Blue Cross or Medicaid) is lost to fraud or abuse.” Jesilow and Pontell released their study Monday during the 79th an nual meeting of the American Socio logical Association, comprised of about 12,000 professional s< ists, both in academics and plied fields. Espar was unableloi tend the meeting ol about ASA members. “A great deal of white collaret® exists in the health-care field,rai> mains undisclosed because o(a trememly lax enforcement effor the report said.

Family is arrested for sexual assault United Press International HOUSTON — T he neighbors of a family accused of sexually assault ing and holding a 13-year-old girl against her will for nearly a week cheered when police took them p . away, a sheriffs detective said Tues day. Robert Lee Watts, 18, his father, Hayward Watts, 52, and his mother, Gloria Watts, 46, were being held in lieu of $10,000 bond each T uesday following their arrests Monday, Sgt. George Sturgis said. An older son, Jerry Wayne Watts, remained at large, he said. “I know they’re not rich," Sturgis said of the family. “From the reac tion of the neighborhood, I don’t think any of their neighbors will post bond (for them). Detective (Marcel) Dionne said the neighbors cheered when they were arrested and taken away. I don’t think they were liked very well.” Sturgis said although the girl vol untarily left her home last Monday with Robert Watts, “after she got there, she wanted to leave. She was kept there against her will.” The girl apparently was drugged with Mandrax, a barbiturate ob tained in Mexico, and appeared in a confused state when she was found at the Watts’ home, Sgt. Joe Seckler said. “She was not beaten or tied down, but she had been given enough Mandrax — at least three tablets in one day — that she wouldn’t have to lx* tied down for her to suy diet Seckler said. The two brothers are charp with aggravated kidnapping andk gravated sexual assault. The pair are charged with aggravated! ping “with the intent to fadlitaica aggravated sexual assault” of u young girl.

Gramm told a news conference that Doggett misrepresented his views on the issue during an address last week in Austin to the Texas As sociation of Counties. Doggett told the convention he had never voted against Texas right- to-work law, whicli stipulates that a worker can hold a job without join ing a labor union. “I think it’s very clear that tbe« mg record my opponent has® piled, as rated by the AFL-CIO the state, he’s been a friend ofoit! nized labor,” said Gramm. “Tilts nothing wrong with that, but point I’m raising... is that now 4 he’s running for the U.S.Senates trying to run away from cotd.
