And unfortunately it has been going on for some time. In 1997 Columbia/HCA paid the largest Medicare/Medicaid fraud FINE of 1.7 Billion.

This abuse has been going on for over 25 years and it appears we are no closer to having the safeguards in place to stop the grift or eliminate abusive and fraudulent billing practices.

Is UNH in the running to knock Columbia out of first place? How do we score? If adjusted for inflation Columbia's fine is equivalent to $3.3B in 2025...
