Justice Dept Hits Healthcare Fraud Hard

The Justice Department just hit healthcare fraud with a sledgehammer—charging over 450 people, including 90 medical professionals, in a scheme that allegedly swindled $6.5 billion. Some cases allegedly killed patients, while others funded luxury cars, jewelry, and beach resorts. One Texas nurse practitioner is accused of orchestrating a nearly $1 billion scam through unnecessary procedures. Another massive scheme inflated medical supply prices, already netting $2 billion in fraud. This crackdown is part of a task force active since 2007, which has already prosecuted 6,000+ people and recovered over $45 billion. Profit over people? The feds say: consequences are coming.
