A Milwaukee woman was recently sentenced to five years in prison, and with up to 12 years of supervision and restitution.

The woman was accused of defrauding the state from a healthcare scam.  The woman was estimated to have received over $369,000 in taxpayer funded money.

The defense claimed that one of the main reasons the woman did the fraud was to help pay for her cancer treatment.

This case has served as an example of why serious reforms need to occur in the system.
