HHS False Claims Reports Nothing On Child Welfare Fraud

Below, is a few examples of Medicaid fraud schemes where individuals are employed who were not eligible because they had been previously busted for Medicaid fraud.

Of all the years in existence, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General has never, ever, ever brought forth violations of the Civil Monetary Penalties Law against any child welfare entity.

Never.

Not only that, no one from the child welfare industry has been placed on the OIG Exclusionary Database.

The reason it is never enforced is because it would shut down the entire child welfare system.
