The False Claims Act proved its effectiveness once again. Last year DoJ recovered a record amount of money in health care fraud cases. While this is real money, it's still a very small percentage of the amount of money stolen through fraud. We are recovering pennies on the dollar.

We have a lot of work to do in order to protect taxpayers.
