How can you justify buying more Bombs to kill people, over putting food on poor people dinner table.!!??The increase in military spending is not the best thing America can do right now. I thought the president was going to bring the jobs back from China,??!! Everything I buy now is made in China.!!??!! What happened to made in the U.S.A ??!! What is this president doing.!!??

Philly Journalist A.D. Amorosi Pleads Guilty In Massive Medicare Fraud Scheme

The scheme centered around Broad Street Family Pharmacy in South Philadelphia.

www.phillymag.com

According to the AG’s office, the scheme amounted to a $20 million fraud against Medicaid and Medicare. It involved fraudulent claims to those government programs for pricey medications and prescriptions for those medications that were never actually filled, and cash kickbacks to customers for bringing their prescriptions to the pharmacy. The pharmacy was also paying customers with cash and other pills to sell back expensive medications they did receive.

​

“The owner and operator of this pharmacy were essentially pretending to fill prescriptions for expensive medications, while defrauding the Medicaid and Medicare programs of millions of dollars with a sophisticated scheme involving nearly a dozen co-conspirators,” the AG said in a statement. “The alleged crimes involved here diverted funding from Pennsylvanians in need into the pockets of the defendants.”

And one of those co-conspirators was Amorosi. Police arrested him on December 13th, and he was released one day later on a $100,000 unsecured bail. The original charges against him included seven felony counts, including dealing in the proceeds of unlawful activities and conspiracy. And on Wednesday, as part of a negotiated deal, he pleaded guilty to one count each of those crimes. A judge sentenced him to three years of probation, which includes a clause that he is not allowed to travel outside of Philadelphia without permission from his probation officer.

As for some of the other defendants, Dello Buono pleaded guilty to some of the charges against him and was sentenced to two to five years in state prison, while his wife received a sentence of four years probation after pleading guilty to some of the charges against her. The case against the pharmacist, Bengermino, remains open.

Amorosi declined to comment.

Health care fraudster Philip Esformes is latest Trump clemency recipient to be arrested

Philip Esformes is among several people granted clemency by then-President Donald Trump who have since been charged with new crimes.

www.nbcnews.com

Philip Esformes, whose 20-year prison sentence for a massive, $1.3 billion Medicare fraud scheme was commuted in 2020 by then-President Donald Trump, was arrested over the weekend in Florida on domestic-violence related charges.

During his first term, President Trump granted clemency to at least ten healthcare executives and doctors convicted in large-scale Medicare fraud schemes. These individuals were involved in defrauding the Medicare system through various fraudulent activities. The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association criticized Trump's pardons for these individuals, particularly those who had orchestrated massive Medicare frauds.

Seems to me Trump had many friend here.

As long as you continue to apologize for fascist, I don’t see where you’ve laid a glove on me. I reject your premises and am waiting for you to realize the error of your ways. Then we can start discussing reality.

hey dumbass...when you say totally"non responsive".....that means i never replied to anything you said....now lets see you prove that...because i can easily prove you wrong....lol...slap ..slap....

Maybe poor Americans shouldn't be so fat.

Are all poor people fat?

 

[MizMolly]

Or maybe they should get at least a part-time job at Walmart in order to keep their free food supply going.

Leftists think people should be ENTITLED to free food no matter what. The idea of requiring someone to work - and at least participate somewhat in his own support - horrifies them.

Retired, elderly and disabled can’t do that. I’m on Social Security and Medicare, which is not free. I worked all my life and earned every cent I receive, which is minimal.

 

[MizMolly]

I’m not so sure, I’ve voted D almost exclusively as a young adult, and continued until recently to vote for Ds here and there. But now they’re all nuts.

True, there isn’t an honest politician to be found in any political party.

You keep repeating the same lines over and over. How is that responsive? IMO, you want to duck the responsibility for supporting a fascist by demanding things from me, but I’m not playing, skippy.

Just the ones that get free pizza.

Fatter than your average Democrat woman.

If you’re going to keep apologizing for fascists you’re THE BIGGEST LOSER! It doesn’t really matter whether you voted for him or not, fellow traveler.

Get some sleep. You’re not making much sense!

Retired, elderly and disabled can’t do that. I’m on Social Security and Medicare, which is not free. I worked all my life and earned every cent I receive, which is minimal.

I’m talking about able-bodied people in their 30s and 40s who simply don’t want to work, and still collect food stamps.

In addition, if one of the parents has a full-time job with health insurance, he should be required to put his kids on the program rather than make taxpayers fund their Medicaid. As it stands now, fathers choose not to marry the mothers because that’s the way to keep the taxpayer funding the bill.
