Watch Frogue Interview Gingrich on Fraud

Healthcare Fraud

Harvard professor Malcolm Sparrow, author of License to Steal, has been a leading thinker in healthcare fraud since the early 1990s. On May 20, 2009, he testified to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Among his statements were these: “The units of measure for losses due to healthcare fraud and abuse in this country are hundreds of billions of dollars per year. We just don’t know the first digit. It might be as low as one hundred billion - more likely two or three - possibly four or five.” Sparrow also lamented, “One of my deep regrets is to discover that academia has paid almost no serious attention to this critical problem.”

It is in this climate of government spending and fraud that the Center for Health Transformation is proud to announce the upcoming publication of an in-depth book on healthcare fraud. Given that healthcare costs make up around one-seventh of America’s economy, it is imperative at this time to ensure that funding goes to appropriate people and organizations, not crooks seeking to rob taxpayers. We hope to begin a serious national discussion about fraud, the perverse incentives that allow such fraud to flourish, and key strategies to bring these schemes to an end.
