Canadians were also flown into the United States in violation of U.S. immigration laws. One Hamilton, Ontario, resident stated that prior to being sent to a psychiatric facility in California, the head hunter operation in her city wanted to know if she had a criminal record. According to her, criminals were separated out and sent to the United States in some different manner. Some of the people employed in the psychiatric harvesting operation had extremely questionable backgrounds, as this excerpt from a tape transcript of a meeting at one hospital revealed: ...When Joe came he had in his record that he had attempted murder on his wife 3 years ago. ...you dont want an attempted murderer and possibly even murderer on the unit. ...I dont know if you know the whole story but Thursday the guy forearmed one of the kids playing ball and he put his arms around somebodies [sic]... threatened to choke them...
Another staff member who dealt with Canadian admissions at one of these hospitals stated that ...To date there is next to no verifications of the Form I-94 [U.S. Immigration form] for any patient admitted to the program since October and very few patients with a referring physician.
When it came to Canadians, even the amounts fraudulently billed were greater than for U.S. patients. For example, one facility in Washington State was found to have been billing Alberta Health $485 per day for the same care that was being charged to American health insurance providers at $340 per day, a difference of 30%.
