Watch out, New Yorkers. Thieves have their
eyes on a lot more than just your wallets.
Did you know health insurance fraud costs U.S. consumers more than $80 billion a year? Criminals looking to profit off of you sure do.
They’ll pick your pockets with offers of “free” medical treatments or “complimentary consultations.” They’ll do whatever they can to lure
you into sharing your patient identification and insurance information to commit fraud in your name. The end result? Higher premiums for
all of us, and potential permanent damage to your medical history.
That’s why you have to stay vigilant about protecting yourself:

This pol gave a lot of birds!
A Flatlands elected offi cial helped
distribute hundreds of free Thanksgiving
turkeys to community organizations
and some of the neighborhood’s
neediest.
Assemblywoman Jaime Williams
(D–Flatlands) recruited a crew of helpers
from around the neighborhood to
give out the birds on Nov. 12, including
community-affairs offi cers with the
Police Department’s 63rd and 69th precincts,
do-gooders from the Canarsie
Lions Club, and clergy from Canarsie’s
Holy Family Church, including its pastor,
Rev. Edward Kane.
Owners of Georgetown’s Fairway
Market donated a total of 500 turkeys
for the giveaway, 200 of which the
group handed out during the distribution
in the parking lot of Glen Terrace
Caterers on Avenue N at E. 54th
Street.
The remaining 300 birds will be
doled out through local civic groups,
churches, and food pantries, according
to Williams’s spokesman, Ian Girshek.
Williams praised the generosity of
the local market’s leaders, and said
she was thrilled to join the giveaway
for a third year and help her neediest
constituents put food on their Thanksgiving
tables.
“Fairway Market’s generous donation
to our district is one that we are
most appreciative of, and I am personally
thankful for the honor of being
able to distribute these turkeys to help
ensure that so many families and individuals
can have a turkey on Thanksgiving,”
she said.
And the pol thanked her partners
that day, especially Rev. Kane, whom
she commended for his work as a chaplain
in the armed forces before cheering
all local veterans for their selfl ess
service.
“It is with great pride that we as a
community can come together and celebrate
the holiday of Thanksgiving,
and to be thankful for our veterans
and the members of our community
currently serving in the military,”
Williams said.
