    They made these elderly people suffer with procedures they didnt need. Thats the worst part.
  • @mycocoaone
    As a now retired RN health care costs are off the charts. It is just not these people but so glad they got arrested. The cost for sumple supplues in a hospital is just gouging and needs to be investigated.
  • @zealandzen
    The frauds harmed those people and billed for $900,000,000 in 18 months. Better find that money and make an example of them.
  • @boblab
    Now they are all qualified to run for congress
  • This happens in every hospital and family health treatment center in America. Its about time someone faces the music.
  • @Katie96077
    Can you imagine what these poor elderly people went through for no reason just for money ,,, makes me sick to my stomach
  • About time this AG cracked down on some of this fraud. There's lots of doctors and hospitals he needs to investigate also overcharging working citizens for simple medical procedures.
  • I hope this doesn’t trigger more paperwork in order to get medical tests. I have severe osteoarthritis and it took me months of testing before Medicare would pay for it.
  • @DBRising
    Billing for ineffective treatments is the SOP of these people.
  • Amniotic would grafts for fun and profit? 😠 And what's up with all the people in the comments sticking up for these greedy sadists? What if they'd done one of these awful procedures to one of YOUR parents?
  • @Anne.411
    This is sickening they all deserve lots of prison time. Those wound grafts made peoples wounds worse and lead to death in some cases
  • Meh…one of them will run for Senate & serve with Rick Scott.
  • @kindnuguz
    This is normal practice for all the health care industry who is anyone kidding? Why do you think our Health care is so expensive?
  • @phiksit
    Oh, they should run for office in Florida.🙃
  • @eriktout5084
    Garland throws in "we follow the law and that's what the SPECIAL COUNSEL has done" . Just pathetic ! FMG !
