John Q (2002) Official Trailer - Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall Movie HD


UHG - NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters that the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were scrawled on the ammunition, one word on each of three bullets. A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, previously told The Associated Press that the words scrawled on the ammunition were “deny,” “defend” and “depose. The messages mirror the phrase “delay, deny, defend,” which is commonly used by lawyers and critics about insurers that delay payments, deny claims and defend their actions. Medicaid - text messages show Favre at the center of a scandal dating back to 2020, when a political appointee of the governor and nonprofit head, among others, were arrested for misusing federal welfare funds, some of which benefitted Favre personally as well as causes with which he was involved. Between 2016 and 2018, the nonprofit Mississippi Community Education Center doled out $5 million—allegedly at Favre’s request—to the University of Southern Mississippi, where Favre attended and where his daughter also attended and played volleyball, to pay for a new volleyball court, according to Mississippi Today; the nonprofit also paid him $1.1 million to promote a program called Families First. The funds mostly came from a federal welfare grant program administered by the Mississippi Department of Human Services, and both the head of the nonprofit and the former head of the MDHS have been charged with and pleaded not guilty to embezzlement and fraud for their roles in the scheme. Prevacus, a pharmaceutical company that was working on a concussion treatment and which Favre was a top investor in, also allegedly received $2.15 million “in allegedly stolen funds” from the scheme, according to Mississippi Today. The Healthcare Scandal of All Time - Senator Scott - In 1987, Scott started Columbia, which was a hospital company (which later became Columbia/HCA). As the years passed, Scott added hospitals, centers for surgery, and other health locations to the HCA network. In 1997, an investigation was launched after records were seized that were indicative of Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Scott resigned shortly after the investigation started, but he couldn't escape it altogether. Prior to his resignation, several warrants were issued that granted the federal government permission to search hospitals that were owned by Columbia/HCA. The warrants also included hospitals previously owned by the company. As part of his resignation, Scott received $300 million in stock, $10 million in cash, and $5 million, which was quite the severance pay. It was found that Columbia/HCA billed services such as Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE for tests that physicians hadn't ordered. Scott's company also trumped diagnoses with fake ones to increase the hospital's reimbursement. They illegally claimed that advertising expenses were "community education." The company also billed the government on behalf of non-qualifying patients for healthcare visits at home. According to the Department of Justice, Columbia/HCA was ordered to pay $840 million in fines and penalties for its deceit.
