DOJ Levies Massive Health Care Fraud Crackdown | Daily Wire

The Department of Justice announced that it would charge 412 individuals with health care fraud. Those 412 individuals, including 56 doctors, are being held liable for $1.3 billion in false billings. Attorney General Jeff Sessions made the following remarks at the press conference:
Too many trusted medical professionals like doctors, nurses, and pharmacists have chosen to violate their oaths and put greed ahead of their patients. Amazingly, some have made their practices into multimillion dollar criminal enterprises. They seem oblivious to the disastrous consequences of their greed. Their actions not only enrich themselves often at the expense of taxpayers but also feed addictions and cause addictions to start. The consequences are real: emergency rooms, jail cells, futures lost, and graveyards. While today is a historic day, the Department`s work is not finished. In fact, it is just beginning. We will continue to find, arrest, prosecute, convict, and incarcerate fraudsters and drug dealers wherever they are.
​
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tom Price joined Attorney General Sessions at the press conference, making the following remarks:
Healthcare fraud is a crime that deserves special condemnation and requires special cooperation to combat. Not only does it involve stealing billions of taxpayer dollars from America’s seniors and medically needy, but it also undermines the American people’s trust in their healthcare system and our nation’s most important public institutions.
As a physician, and as secretary of HHS, I can tell you that this distrust is misplaced.
America has the best doctors and healthcare providers in the world. But their ability to provide affordable, high-quality care to their patients is jeopardized every time a criminal commits healthcare fraud.
So it’s important to recognize that the individuals targeted with our takedown operations are in the business not of caring for patients, but of manipulating and exploiting them.
​
According to the Department of Justice, 41 federal districts are involved in this major crackdown on health care fraud.
 
MIT Climate Scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen urges Trump: “Cut the funding of climate science by 80% to 90% until the field cleans up’ | Climate Depot

Excerpt:
Richard Lindzen, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT and a member of the National Academy of Sciences who has long questioned climate change orthodoxy, is skeptical that a sunnier outlook is upon us.
“I actually doubt that,” he said. Even if some of the roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer dollars currently spent on climate research across 13 different federal agencies now shifts to scientists less invested in the calamitous narrative, Lindzen believes groupthink has so corrupted the field that funding should be sharply curtailed rather than redirected.
“They should probably cut the funding by 80 to 90 percent until the field cleans up,” he said. “Climate science has been set back two generations, and they have destroyed its intellectual foundations.”
The field is cluttered with entrenched figures who must toe the established line, he said, pointing to a recent congressional report that found the Obama administration got a top Department of Energy scientist fired and generally intimidated the staff to conform with its politicized position on climate change.
“Remember this was a tiny field, a backwater, and then suddenly you increased the funding to billions and everyone got into it,” Lindzen said. “Even in 1990 no one at MIT called themselves a ‘climate scientist,’ and then all of a sudden everyone was. They only entered it because of the bucks; they realized it was a gravy train. You have to get it back to the people who only care about the science.”
 
I do not think one will see this real Time cover in Trump properties unlike the fake one that was posted.

You know things have changed when the response now is "no crimes were committed."

Conspiring with a foreign government has gotten people hung in the past. Unfortunately the Donald able to pardon his cronies like Ford did for Nixon. I can`t wait for the next shoe to drop. At the very least Trumps` legacy will be damaged beyond repair, if he has a legacy at all. Who knew politics could be this much fun?
