In the Trump administration's latest effort to crack down on fraud, the Justice Department on Tuesday unveiled charges against 455 people for their alleged participation in healthcare fraud and opioid abuse schemes.

The defendants, who included 90 doctors and other healthcare professionals, were involved in $6.5 billion worth of fraud that involved false claims and resulted in significant harm to patients, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.

"This is just the beginning. Fraudsters can no longer rip off American taxpayers," Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a press conference Tuesday. "If you seek to harm or cheat Americans, we will find you, seize any assets and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law."

Officials highlighted one defendant who they claim rubber stamped a student's cardiovascular test as normal without alerting the family that his heart was enlarged. The 18-year-old college basketball player, Kaiden Francis, died weeks later during a workout.

3. "If you seek to harm or cheat Americans, we will find you, seize any assets and prosecute you..."

Right. Only those of us in the regime are permitted harm or cheat Americans.

5. You and trump and the entire admin do just that on a daily basis.

"This is just the beginning. Fraudsters can no longer rip off American taxpayers," Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche

7. Well with $6.5 billion at least they will be able to afford their pardons.

9. Smells like they are trying to gin up opposition to the gubmint helping pay for healthcare

I tell maggot and nonvoting acquaintances that the GQPee doesn't want to pay for healthcare for the non-wealthy. Krasnov's regime is trying to convince the public that government payment for healthcare is a bad thing.

Fuck him and his kangaroo courts.
