Feds' Health Fraud Attack Pays Off

The group Taxpayers Against Fraud says federal spending to root out health care scams is really paying off. From 2000 to 2004, the feds spent $444 million to recover $6.6 billion in health care fraud-related settlements and judgments. That's $15 back for every dollar invested in an effort that probably only gets at the tip of the iceberg in health fraud.
