## Resource

The Department of Justice just unleashed its biggest health care fraud crackdown yet, charging 455 people nationwide for allegedly ripping off Medicare, Medicaid, and other public programs — swindling over $6.5 billion through fake claims, kickbacks, and unnecessary treatments. This massive annual sweep targets everything from phantom services to dangerous medical overreach, exposing how fraud inflates costs, weakens care, and endangers patients. With hundreds arrested and assets seized, officials warn this is only the beginning of a relentless push to restore trust in the system.
