At least 119 Amtrak employees and doctors took the railroad company for a ride in a massive $12 million health fraud scheme, a watchdog found.Amtrak's Office of Inspector General (OIG) said employees based in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Connecticut and Washington, D.C., accepted cash kickbacks from three healthcare providers in exchange for the use of their insurance information and that of their dependents in a scheme from 2019 to 2022."The sheer volume of employees who cavalierly participated in this scheme to steal Amtraks funds suggests not only a serious lapse in basic ethics, but a troubling workforce culture, at least in the Northeast region, in which blatant criminal behavior was somehow normalized," said Amtrak Inspector General Kevin H. Winters.Fox News Digital has reached out to Amtrak.AMTRAK APOLOGIZES AFTER STRANDING 110 PASSENGERSThe healthcare providers used that employee information to file fraudulent and questionable medical claims for services that were never provided or not medically necessary, the OIG said. Overall, the taxpayer-funded railroad carrier's health plan was billed more than $16 million and was bilked out of $12 million.Of the 119 employees implicated, 28 retired or resigned as a result of the OIGs investigation, and 30 left the company for "other reasons." Another dozen employees have been criminally charged, and seven have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.Sixty-one are still on the job.In a statement to Fox News Digital, Amtrak said it has taken "significant steps" to address medical insurance fraud.AFTER TRUMP SPEECH, AOC TELLS DEMOCRATS TO ORGANIZE IN GOP DISTRICTS AGAINST MEDICAID CUTS"Like many employers, Amtrak calls on medical benefit providers and insurers to do more to identify suspicious activity and stop medical insurance fraud," the company said. "Amtrak strongly condemns this reprehensible act that occurred between 2019 and 2022 and is taking swift action with all active employees involved in the investigation."While we continue to work closely with the OIG to identify and stamp out fraud, we also continue to work on other initiatives to address this issue," the statement added."Amtrak has implemented various measures to enhance fraud prevention and empower employees to report suspected wrongdoing. These efforts include increasing oversight and strengthening efforts to eliminate fraudulent schemes."The OIG launched a probe when an agent noticed unusual billing patterns in reports by data analysts. Three New York healthcare providers with "questionable" billings who shared a high number of Amtrak employees as patients were identified by investigators.An undercover agent posing as an Amtrak employee met with Punson Figueroa, aka "Susie," an acupuncturist from Long Island City, New York, June 16, 2021. During the visit, Figueroa told the agent to sign his name 30 times for service without dating the signatures, the OIG said.Figueroa then submitted alleged fraudulent claims to Amtraks healthcare plan, saying the agent had visited providers at least seven times in May 2021 for acupuncture and physical therapy. The agent visited Figueroas office again on July 29, 2021, where she allegedly handed him an envelope containing $1,000.Figueroa continued to use the agents insurance information to submit dozens of fraudulent claims to Amtraks healthcare plan, investigators said.Figueroa pleaded guilty to defrauding Amtraks healthcare plan, was sentenced to three years of supervised release and was ordered to pay restitution of $9.05 million. Two other healthcare providers and a medical biller have also pleaded guilty for their roles in the scheme.Michael DeNicola, a podiatrist from New York, pleaded guilty June 29, 2022, to conspiracy to commit health care fraud, distribution of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a gun. He has not yet been sentenced.Regina Choi, a medical biller from Woodside, New York, who previously worked for Figueroa, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud June 11, 2024, for submitting false and fraudulent claims to the Amtrak health care plan and paying cash kickbacks to Amtrak employees. Her sentence is also pending.In 2018 and 2019, OIG auditors issued separate reports that said Amtrak could strengthen measures to identify fraudulent medical claims sooner. Both reports noted billing patterns indicative of potential fraud among hundreds of providers, the OIG said.

Former President Joe Biden denied telling former Vice President Kamala Harris that there could be no "daylight" between them while she was on the campaign trail, and defended what was widely seen as a flubbed opportunity for the vice president to differentiate herself from Biden during her October 2024 interview on the ABC show.Co-host Sunny Hostin brought up her question posed to Harris ahead of the election. Hostin asked at the time if there was anything the then-vice president would have done differently from Biden and Harris said "not a thing comes to mind."Hostin said the vice president's answer was "weaponized against her," and asked Biden about the reporting that he had told Harris "there could be no daylight" between the pair while she was campaigning."Well, look, first of all, I did not advise her to say that, number one. Like I said, I was vice president. I understand the role, number one. Number two, I think it was, I think she was talking about, she wouldnt have changed the successes we had, not opposed to, we wouldnt change anything at all. She has to be her own person, and she was. She was. And so I think that was used in a way that is contrary to what she meant by it, when she said that and I think that, you know, she was part of every success we had," the former president said.BIDEN TELLS THE VIEW HE WASN'T SURPRISED HARRIS LOST, BLAMES SEXISM, RACISMA book, written by reporters Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen, alleged Biden "would say publicly that Harris should do what she must to win. But privately, including in conversations with her, he repeated an admonition: let there be no daylight between us.""But the day of the debate Biden called to give Harris an unusual kind of pep talk and another reminder about the loyalty he demanded. No longer able to defend his own record, he expected Harris to protect his legacy," they wrote. "Whether she won or lost the election, he thought, she would only harm him by publicly distancing herself from him especially during a debate that would be watched by millions of Americans. To the extent that she wanted to forge her own path, Biden had no interest in giving her room to do so."Hostin asked the former president during the interview on Thursday to respond to critics who argued that he should have dropped out of the race sooner to give Harris more time, noting that Harris' campaign was roughly 90 days."I say, number one, that there were still six full months, she was in every aspect, every decision I made, every decision we made, and I dont think, I hope I dont sound the wrong way. I dont think anybody thought wed be successful as we were," Biden responded.JEN PSAKI RECALLS REACTION TO BIDEN'S DEBATE, HEARTBREAKING SUMMER BEFORE 2024 EXIT: I WAS LIKE, IS HE OK?CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREBiden dropped out of the race on July 21, 2024. That left Harris with the full month of August, September and October to run her campaign, in addition to a few extra weeks.The former president blamed sexism and racism for Harris' loss and revealed he wasn't surprised by Trump's win.Hostin has also blamed Harris' loss on racism and misogyny after the election."As a country, its very difficult for people to believe that racism and misogyny, theyre just alive and well. I think that we dont want to think that about ourselves, our neighbors, our friends, but its my lived experience tells me that it does still exist, even if your lived experience doesnt tell that it exists and, you know, the facts support that," Hostin said, pointing to a graph that showed "a clear racial divide" in who voted for Trump as opposed to who voted for Harris.

Four top Trump administration officials from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) shared their visions for improving the American healthcare system and aligning the agency with the"Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) platform in an exclusive interview Thursday on "Special Report."HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and National Institutes of Health director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya sat down with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier at the Hubert H. Humphrey Building in Washington, D.C., for a wide-ranging discussion on the future of healthcare and improving the quality of care nationwide."We all share a vision that's been a lifelong vision for all of us, which is to make our country healthy, to have evidence-based science, to have goldstandard replicable science, and then use that to challenge what we have this kind of bedrock system that is destroying our health," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr."The healthcare system in this country is a bundle of perverse incentives that force people to do the wrong thing. And we've turned this country into a sick care system rather than a health care system. And all these people are the people who are gonna change that."Drs. Bhattacharya, Makary and Oz said their goals at their respective agencies are to: improve the health andlongevity of the American people, focus on cures and meaningful treatments and improve the quality of care on all levels.MAHA MOMS CALL FOR RIGOROUS TRANSPARENCY INTO HEALTH CONCERNS"We're laser-focused on the broader picture, the more holistic picture," said Dr. Oz, quoting Hubert Humphrey, a former Democratic vice president whose name is on the building they work in. "He [Humphrey] said, 'It's the moral obligation of government to take care of those of us at the very dawn of our lives, children, at the twilight of our [lives], the elderly, and those living in the shadows.' That's our focus."Baier then turned to recentHHS leadership changes critical to advancing the MAHA agenda, asking RFK Jr. about the U.S. Surgeon General nomination change.President Donald Trump pulled Dr. Janette Nesheiwats nomination for U.S. Surgeon General Wednesday ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing.Nesheiwat, a former Fox News medical contributor, had her nomination withdrawn due to scrutiny over her credentials andcriticism about her medical views not aligning with the White House.Trump announced wellness influencer Casey Means would replace Nesheiwat, who will work at HHS in another capacity.FOX NEWS POLL: THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SECOND TERM"Casey Means, we felt, was the best person to really bring the vision of MAHA to the American public," RFK Jr. told "Special Report." "She has a unique capacity to articulate it. She's written a book that really mobilized, galvanized the movement. She is an extraordinary she is excellence in everything that she's ever endeavored."The former 2024 Independent presidential candidate dismissed criticism of Means, who reportedly did not finish her medical residency nor possess an active medical license."She was the top, the very top of her medical class at Stanford. She is in every during her residency, she won every award that she could win," said RFK Jr. "She walked away from traditional medicine because she was not curing patients."
