(The Center Square) – The U.S. Department of Justice announced Tuesday that 455 people have been indicted for alleged health care fraud, believed to cost taxpayers over $6.5 billion.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the defendants spanned 45 states and territories.
“These individuals participated in health care fraud schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid and other health care programs,” Blanche said during a press conference.
The acting attorney general highlighted a corporate executive in Arizona accused of fraud involving over $1 billing “involving unnecessary wound grafts.” He added that the alleged “scheme” cost taxpayers over $1 million “per patient in total.”
“Our indictment charges 11 defendants for over $2 billion in fraud and fraudulent claims in connection to alleged would care schemes. The indictment also alleges that these individuals then used the taxpayer money to bankroll multi-million-dollar homes, luxury vehicles,” said Blanche.
In addition, the defendant has been accused of using the money to purchase expensive jewelry and funding the construction of a $4.6 million beach resort in the Philippines.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., described how HHS is tracking down fraudsters.
“We are deploying advanced artificial intelligence and data analytics to identify fraudulent billing patterns in real time, stop improper payments before they occur, and strengthen oversight across federal health programs. Our objective is straightforward: stop the fraud before it happens,” said Kennedy.

This explains why a drug I take on medicare went from $90 copay in 2025 to $600+ copay in 2026. After the fraud, nothing is left for the seniors.
No doubt, fraud is likely 1,000 times this amount
MORE!!! MORE!!!~! I PRAY that they don’t go before LIBERAL JUDGES!
I hope those indictments go to Washington State. They had to impose a phony $1.48/gallon gas tax to make up for the stolen tax dollars. Despite historic tax hikes – Washington state faces a $4.3 billion deficit.
Federal judges have removed all politicians and bureaucrats from any charges. Those are “politically motivated” and therefore, dismissed, even though they promoted, maintained, and protected those engaged in embezzlement. Let’s stop calling it “fraud”.
Punishment and imprisonment is fine but I’d like to see more reports regarding recovered funds.
Fraud must be proved by showing that the defendant’s actions involved five separate elements: (1) a false statement of a material fact,(2) knowledge on the part of the defendant that the statement is untrue, (3) intent on the part of the defendant to deceive the alleged victim, (4) justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement, and (5) injury to the alleged victim as a result.
What is embezzlement in practical terms? It is a white-collar crime involving financial betrayal. The perpetrator looks legitimate on the surface.
Embezzlement happens in offices, nonprofits, churches, and government agencies. Anywhere someone handles money for others, the risk exists. Position and access create opportunity.
The crime often continues for months or years before detection. Embezzlers typically start small and grow bolder. Many rationalize their actions as “borrowing” the funds.
Good! Do EVERY Government Program. Every. Last. One!
Embezzlement is typically met with state charges.
We know Soros bought off a lot DAs. I wonder how many judges he has in his pocket?
Now add in all the recipients frauding the system. Unbelievable numbers.
Imagine the literal BILLIONS that have been wasted on this crap for DECADES!.......................
I hope they indict Dubya’s Dipsh*t Court Judge, Patty Schlitz. That bass turd needs to be in prison. After that, they need to go after that Trinidad Tobago skank, Sparkle Snookermanman. She’s an idiot. We’ve got the scum of the refugee crowd sitting on the benches in our Feral Dipsh*t Courts. SCOTUS is allowing these rookie princesses to really stick it to the American people.

So the first billionaire was not Elon Musk. It was the amount of money sent out in fraudulent payments.
Bury these bastards under the prison. We need to take a hard line with these POS.
“entire national debt is due to fraud.”
1 Trillion yes. 4 Trillion? Only if you include legal fraud passed by congress.
“removed all politicians and bureaucrats”
What about IT vendors such as Deloitte who have made this possible since 2013?
