1. Describe Saul’s ethical dilemma.

• Soul is facing an ethical dilemma where he is dealing an ethical challenge facing the fact that he has evidence with him. This is a morally problematic situation where he must know right from wrong and make a decision. This being said he must choose what he feels is rights even if the evidence will affect his brother. He faces the choice weather to protect his brother against the law making him an accomplice or reporting to the authorities. As a professional he is stuck between family and his profession where he knows his brother could lose his license and possibly go to jail. In the end he convinces himself that his brother is more important than the thousands of people that would be implicated and cheated off of what his brother was doing.

2. Why would Medicare fraud be a white-collar crime?

• A white-collar crime is an action in which offenses are designed to produce financial gain based on deception. It is a form of stealing from the united states government based of non-physical damage used for personal gains. Medicare would consider this fraud a white-collar crime because Dr.RS has fraudulently billing Medicaid for ineligible patients even after collecting cash from the treatment he has given them.

3. How should Saul approach the situation?

• Saul should be a professional and report the situation that would implicate many patients and himself. Yes, he is his brother but the ethical thing to do is to save lives as a doctor rather than to complicate their situation and forcing them into legal problems. This situation forces him to act ethically as a business being a doctor who swears in to help rather than damage. This leads him to demonstrate his personal integrity even if there are downsides to his personal benefits. I myself have siblings and imagine myself in his shoes. It would be a very difficult decision to make but it would be the right thing to do and report his actions. If he does not he would be an accomplice to any harm done to others and his own brother.
