More than 450 alleged fraudsters — including 90 doctors and medical professionals — were busted for bilking at least $6.5 billion in fake Medicare and Medicaid claims, with one greedy nurse splashing her ill-gotten gains on an $865,000 Bulgari necklace, $594,000 Ferrari and a $4.6 million Philippines beach resort, authorities said.
The colossal crackdown, which spanned 45 US states and territories, was announced Tuesday by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who called it “the greatest combined federal and state effort combating health care fraud in history.”
In total, 455 people were netted — including alleged con artists who blew the taxpayer funds meant to help the poorest Americans on luxury cars, jewelry, mansions, fine art, an NFL box and a yacht cheekily named “Butt Nekkid.”
In one of the most egregious cases, a student athlete in Florida died during basketball practice — after the doctor who was part of an $89 million fraud scheme signed off on his cardiovascular test after giving it only a cursory glance, the Department of Justice charged.
A nurse in Texas was charged with billing Medicare for $1 million for each patient she applied unnecessary tissue grafts to, the feds alleged.
Marizel Yukee, 49, of Las Vegas, was charged with fraudulently billing $906 million in claims for which she was paid $297 million.
She allegedly funneled the stolen funds to buy posh cars, real estate, jewelry and even built a $4.6 million beach resort in the Philippines, prosecutors claimed.

But if you try to send money to help your grandchild by a home the IRS will find out and freeze your bank accounts. Everything is backasswards in this country!
Don't worry, these Democrats are not stealing your money. They're only stealing the VALUE of your money.
I recently received a bill from the California Franchise Tax Board from 2021. Apparently I forgot to add to my taxes 2 over $1200 wins in Vegas that year. But you can bilk billions from Medicare or Medicaid and no one notices.
There is a legal limit on how much you can donate to anyone in one year. IRS follows the law if you contribute more.
There is no LEGAL limit on how much a medical professional can file for reimbursement.
Everything happens because of existing laws.
I dare some Republican congresscritter to propose reducing Medicare by $6.5 Billion, just to watch the lefties scream about killing old people.
EC
Republicans should propose reducing Medicare by $6.5 Billion,
just to watch the lefties scream about “killing old people.”
IRS has actual numbers turned in by your payers.
Government has no data to check Medicare claims.
It is basically an honor system by medical professionals.
Bonanza for dishonorable medical professionals.

I have a niece that is a physician assistant. She worked at a hospital and said that over 70% of the residents went to med school outside the USA.
So many that come here from outside the USA come here to loot the system.
Amazing how few of checks we have on these people.
Yes, the oh-so “honorable” Asians.
Honorable thief.
