DOJ Charges 324 in Largest #Healthcare #Fraud Takedown in U.S. #History — $14.6 BILLION Scheme Involved 96 #Doctors, #Nurses, and Pharmacists Targeting #Medicare and Medicaid
The Department of Justice on Monday unveiled a record-shattering crackdown on the #corrupt underbelly of #America’s #health care #system. A jaw-dropping 324 defendants — including 96 medical professionals — have been charged in 50 federal districts and 12 states for orchestrating over $14.6 billion in intended fraud, largely targeting Medicare, Medicaid, and federal health programs meant to serve the #elderly, #disabled, and the #poor.
The takedown, spearheaded by the DOJ’s Health Care Fraud Unit in coordination with HHS-OIG, the FBI, the DEA, and over a dozen state attorney general offices, marks the largest health care fraud bust in U.S. history.
“Today, as we announced the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in the history of the Department of Justice, it marks a decisive moment in our fight to protect American taxpayers from fraudsters and to defend the integrity of America’s health care system,” said Matthew R. Galeotti, DOJ’s Head of the Criminal Division.
“We are announcing today charges against 324 defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $14.6 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs.”
“These criminals didn’t just steal someone else’s money — they stole from you. Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work and sacrifice. And when criminals defraud these programs, they’re not just committing theft — they’re driving up our national deficit and threatening the long-term viability of health care for seniors, disabled Americans, and our most vulnerable citizens.”

How exactly is it legal?
Well, I suppose no one is stopping him (yet) 🤷♀️
(Note: There are a lot of embedded X links in that article, but they tell a story without tapping into them. I wish people would’ve stopped posting on X after musk took over and let neo-Nazis back on the site. Musk’s influence and the influence of that social media platform is a big reason we are where we are now, imo).
