EXCLUSIVE: A spokesman for AG @KenPaxtonTX has confirmed that the alleged Medicaid fraud at Texas Children's Hospital is "currently being investigated by the Texas Attorney General."— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) June 18, 2024
The Free Press reported on June 10 that Haim and his attorneys did not know the exact nature of the charges. The outlet paraphrased one of the surgeon’s attorneys, Mark Lytle, who said “it’s very unusual to bring felony charges for an alleged HIPAA violation unless there is a significant underlying crime, such as a hospital clerk selling a celebrity’s medical records.”
“The government is entering into the town square on the culture wars and didn’t like what Eithan had to say,” added Lytle, who suggested the DOJ’s effort appeared to be politically motivated. “I think they are looking to make an example of him.”
Haim, who is expecting his first child this fall, told the outlet he has no regrets.
“If we don’t fight back, what world are we delivering our children into?” he said.
According to the GiveSendGo created to help fund his legal bills, Haim and his wife have already spent their retirement, investments, savings, and “almost all of our disposable income … to keep the case alive.”
As of Monday evening, the campaign has raised over $630,000 toward a $1 million goal.
