While you're at it, tell me why we shouldn't execute fuckers like this.

Dr. Farid Fata pleaded guilty Tuesday to 13 counts of health care fraud, one count of conspiracy and two counts of money laundering. according to court records, the scheme enabled the doctor to submit approximately $225 million in claims to Medicare over six years. At his sentencing, scheduled for Feb. 23, 2014, Fata faces a statutory maximum of 175 years in prison.

In his guilty plea today, Fata admitted to prescribing and administering aggressive chemotherapy, cancer treatments, intravenous iron and other infusion therapies to patients who did not need them in order to increase his billings to the Medicare program and other insurance companies, the release said.

Fata then submitted fraudulent claims to Medicare and other insurers for these unnecessary treatments. He told U.S. District Judge Paul Borman that he ordered treatments for patients knowing they were unnecessary and then submitted insurance claims.

Try to imagine the hell he put those people through and tell me you think he shouldn't die.
