The federal government on Friday accused a drug middleman owned by CVS Health of overbilling a program that covers 9 million federal employees by $615 million over a four-year period.

The audit’s findings were similar to those found by one commissioned by the Ohio Department of Medicaid in 2018. It found that pharmacy middlemen owned by CVS and UnitedHealth billed the state $224 million more for drugs that it paid pharmacists in 2017.

And this $3 billion tax fraud.

Health care companies———using even a modicum of common sense-———
<><>should have prevented outsourcing tax-paid “customer service” to Pakistan........
<><>barred phony “testing companies” operated by foreign nationals getting US tax dollars
<><>barred China, Pakistan and Bangladesh’s “ownership” in companies pocketing US tax dollars.

CVS is the pits. They’re either owned by a big insurance corp, or they own one; I can’t remember which.

That’s the part I don’t understand. So many had to see and know but yet remained silent. 🥲🙏🇺🇸

And another couple hundred million dollars gone. So sickening how massive the fraud has gotten. I want those responsible to be penniless/homeless and jailed or deported if not from here.

Add that Deloitte is the #1 abuser of H1b and Indians on H1b and H1b involved in Deloitte IES FRAUD that has the DEAD and DUPs receiving Medicaid, CHPS, SNAP/EBT, WIC, TANF, Sec8, etc in 25 states ... ME VT RI MA NY PA NJ VA FL GA TN KY IN OH MI IL AR LA TX NM CO WY MT ND OR CA...mostly the big states, not MN.

But how relevant is H1b to the Deloitte FRAUD. It is FRAUD that both H1b and US citizens are committing. We shouldn’t let US citizens committing FRAUD off the hook.

Deloitte IES was designed and developed during the Obama years in response to the bit increase in welfare under Obama. Deloitte IES FRAUD has existed since 2013. A few have exposed it over the years. GA DCH Medicaid CIO would be an example.

But most ignore it. GA gov Deal, gov Kemp, AG Carr have all ignored it. From CA to ME both R and D have ignored the Deloitte FRAUD.

KFF Kaiser Family Foundation has exposed some Deloitte FRAUD not IES. It has received more visibility than Deloitte IES. But it also is ignored by most MAGA and most of almost everyone. Why?

FRAUD is the SWAMP is so common that it is labeled “usual and customary”.

A few speak up. Both MAGA and non-MAGA pretty much ignore them.

I’m convinced that 98% of all health care billing is fraudulent.
