Empty offices, bogus bills: Foreign nationals charged in Chicago with billions in Medicare fraud

Tim Hecke Citywide, Suburbs

Federal prosecutors in Chicago have filed charges accusing multiple foreign nationals of orchestrating elaborate Medicare and health insurance fraud schemes that bilked government programs and private insurers out of more than $1 billion through fraudulent claims for medical equipment and diagnostic tests that were never provided to patients…read more about who was involved and how much fraud took place.

This is the result of Democrat policies and incompetence!
