Dr Margaret Faux says she is scared to leave her house after a backlash to her dramatic allegation that taxpayers are losing $8 billion a year due to doctors misusing Medicare. 

The ABC and Nine Newspapers aired a series of claims this week by Dr Faux, whose doctorate comes from her PhD on Medicare billing, that 30% of MBS rebates were being wasted on erroneous or outright fraudulent billing.Â
