Three crisp hundreds on the nightstand:
Remember WellCare, the Tampa-based insurer that was accused of “bilking taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars by using fraudulent practices that were integral to the company’s profit-making,” says a St. Petersburg Times editorial? “ . . .
he Justice Department has announced a preliminary settlement of a paltry $137.5 million to satisfy its whistle-blower claims.” . . .
WellCare’s PAC stopped making political contributions in the fall of 2007, after the Justice Department raided its headquarters. But
now WellCare’s PAC is back in business, sending $2,500 to the Freedom Project, House Minority Leader John Boehner’s personal “Leadership PAC.”I wonder what the guys at the DoJ got?
