Health Care Bill Strengthens False Claims Act

Health care reform legislation passed by the House and Senate and signed into law by President Obama strengthens the ability of the Federal Government to go after fraud in all areas of U.S. Government contracting.

"At a time when the U.S. Government is dramatically expanding health care coverage for all Americans, Congress has stepped in to send a clear signal that it intends to wage a serious and protracted battle against fraud" said Taxpayers Against Fraud President Jeb White.
