Four hundred federal agents from coast to coast swooped down on 70 alleged Medicare fraudsters for allegedly ripping off taxpayers of nearly $300 million in phony billings.
The 70 arrests Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, including doctors and nurses, come on the heels of 21 additional arrests in recent days in an operation designed to significantly dent the growing scourge of health care fraud.
"From Brooklyn to Miami to Los Angeles, the defendants allegedly treated the Medicare program like a personal piggy bank," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer.
Attorney General Eric Holder and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius presided over a news conference to trumpet the success of the Medicare fraud strike force. The takedown in eight cities involved the largest amount of false Medicare billings in the history of strike force operations.
The charges in the indictments unsealed Wednesday included phony schemes involving durable medical devices and home health care that have often been the target of investigators.
But in what Sebelius termed "a new wrinkle," the charges also include schemes involving mental health services and psychotherapy.
Court documents indicate many of the defendants allegedly submitted claims to Medicare for treatments that were medically unnecessary or simply never provided

Imagine that
President Obama is the first Pres I know that ever did anything about Doctors stealing from Medicare and the American people.
And we wonder why costs have been so much in years past.
Jail these bastids until they can repay everything they stole.

The good citizens of Texas need Rick to pray harder. Many Texans are even hoping for a good tropical storm or
two or even a Cat-1 hurricane for some drought relief.
