Almost 200 people have been charged in a nationwide operation probing false health care claims involving approximately $2.75 billion in losses, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Thursday.
Under its 2024 National Health Care Fraud Enforcement Action, the DOJ filed charges against 193 defendants, including 76 doctors, nurse practitioners and other licensed medical professionals in 32 different federal districts across the country.
The DOJ said in a nationwide law enforcement action, the government seized “over $231 million in cash, luxury vehicles, gold, and other assets.”

7 billion
Doctors and hospitals are now greedy, money hungry thieves.
Taxation is theft.
Unless there is more to this, than meets the eye, that doesn’t exactly sound like a model of efficiency.
There is so much government money to steal in the health care business.
Even if only 1% of the health care profession were crooked we are still talking billions of dollars a year.
