Wait a minute, I know that little shit riding that Hoveround! Little bastard, you can bet your ass I’ll sell my dad’s ’68 Cobra before he gets the keys! Let him pay for his own retirement. Work his way into prosperity. Commit himself to family, friends and community. Aw hell, he’s my kid how can I deny him some fun? He’ll pay for it eventually.

We all remember the TV show “Roots” could this have been the real inspiration for AmeriChoice Health. The 101 Dumbest Moments In Business 2003 EDITION Whiffed pitch No. 6: blatant stereotyping. By Mark Athitakis April 1, 2003 (Business 2.0)– GRAND PRIZE WINNER, DUMBEST MOMENT OF 2002
In September, insurance company AmeriChoice brings trucks to blighted neighborhoods in New York City and gives away coupons for free chickens as an incentive for the underprivileged to switch their Medicare coverage. New York state senator Carl Kruger files a complaint with the state attorney general. The 101 Dumbest Moments In Business 2003 EDITION – April 1, 2003 Apr 1, 2003 … Just don’t tell him about the “Chinese health balls.” ….. In September, insurance company AmeriChoice brings trucks to blighted … New York state senator Carl Kruger files a complaint with the state attorney general….. Falling on his sword, Welch announces he’ll give up most of the perks,…
2009 and 2010 $120,000 from your tax dollars at work
Philadelphia PA Mayor Nutter received two years in a row $60,000 checks to help keep open and operate the city swimming pools. These checks came from AmeriChoice Health and on the surface seems like fine gifts. Yet, they are Bribes non the less, these checks come from a company who receives all its money from the Federal State Governments as a vendor for Medicare Medicaid services is not allowed to offer bribes kickbacks and money gifts of any kind in order to promote its share of the market place. This is also not allowed as a use of your taxpayers dollars yet it happens.What does it really cost the City of Philadelphia to receive this money? Americhoice Health has a long history of corruption over the years yet seems to be protected by those who are responsible to over see their actions why is that? Sorry must apologize just received a notice that AmeriChoice Health was under the impression they thought they were suppose to have started their very own stimulus and economic program package and the one they implemented, they had no idea it violated all the Stark ,Health and Kickbacks laws. Some one will have to notify the following departments it was all a mistake or error in judgement, the Department of Justice, CMS, Dept of health and Human resourses,the FBI,and IRS, and any other agency effected by this tragedy or unfortunate misunderstanding. No harm, no fowl, forgive and forget, OK, then how about some coupons for a free whole fried chicken…..
Among its provisions, the anti-kickback statute penalizes anyone who knowingly and willfully solicits, receives, offers or pays remuneration in cash or in kind to induce, or in return for: A. Referring an individual to a person for the furnishing, or arranging for the furnishing, of any item or service payable under the Medicare or Medicaid program; or B. Purchasing, leasing or ordering , or arranging for or recommending purchasing, leasing or ordering, any goods, facility, service or item payable under the Medicare or Medicaid program. Violators are subject to criminal penalties, or exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid rograms, or both. A violation of the anti-kickback law is a felony offense that carries criminal fines of up to $25,000 per violation, imprisonment for up to five years and exclusion from government health care programs.The federal anti-kickback statute, 42 U.S.C.§ 1320a-7b(b), prohibits individuals or entities from knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration to induce referrals of items or services covered by Medicare, Medicaid or any other federally funded program.
If this were any one person not a corporation they would be in jail now, if the FBI were called in on this matter they would be in jail now, if the IRS were notified they would be in jail now. Since all Ameri-Choice checks come from the United Health’s home office they should be held equally responsible for any bribes, kickbacks, Stark, Fraud and inducements violations that have occured. Federal and State Governments have developed such a depended position with this company that laws and rules no longer apply for them.This role is nothing new for the AmeriChoice people and its been going on for years, look at some of the prior news articles that date back for years only now they can afford to hire the best of Law firms and give the most for Political contributations all on the back of the taxpayer. Sure the Laws have become tighter but you can still dance away their problems.
Three years ago they were reported to these Federal agency’s and as of todays date not only were they allowed to continue doing business but were never charged once. Protected vendor status sure, politics sure,limited government budgets sure, Federal and State officals looking the other way sure, and rather then stop these activities a strong desire not to rock the boat existed. Even with the vast changes in the laws and budgets,a hands off policy remains, you tell me what’s wrong with this picture? The Government created this monster and now they don’t know what to do about it, like shooting yourself in your own foot etc. Tons of money to advance their national growth, its market positions, tons of money for political donations, tons of money to send 75 millon back to its home office from New York state alone, tons of money to suppot National TV shows, tons of money to pay hugh State fines, tons of money to hire the very best law firms, tons of money to pay for bribes and kickbacks, tons of money for hugh salarys and bonuses, all done on the back of the American taxpayor, you see this company receives all its money from the Federal government. Should your tax dollars be held to a higher standard? Should the government agencys responsible for there review be held to that same standard?Should the IRS audit their corruption? Why has this company not been charged? How long can the buck be passed here in more ways then one? Hey, it’s your tax dollars don’t complain now then don’t complain later.

UnitedHealth to bestow its name on local units Washington Business Journal – by Ben Fischer Date: Wednesday, October 27, 2010, 4:51pm EDT Read more: UnitedHealth to bestow its name on local units | Washington Business Journal
Article: UnitedHealth to bestow its name on local units By Ben Fischer, Washington Business Journal, Health Care Focus, October 27, 2010 Summary: UnitedHealth Group Inc., the country’s largest health insurer and No. 3 in the Washington market, is consolidating its brand by emphasizing its ownership of some local health plans and giving its business units more straightforward names. Unison Health Plan of the Capital Area, a Medicaid-managed care plan in DC, will now be part of a subsidiary known as UnitedHealthcare Communities and States. Previously, the division handling government-funded plans was known as AmeriChoice. UnitedHealth’s Medicare supplemental plans and other products for retirees, formerly called Ovations, will now be known as UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement. The rebranding addresses will emphasize the company’s size and broad range of services, which can help manage medical costs by providing data and efficiencies. The company also wants to simplify its own segment of a confusing health care marketplace.
Confronting Health Care ‘Demons’ Anthony Welters Took an Unlikely Route to Head AmeriChoice, an HMO for the Poor
The Washington Post May 27, 2002 By Bill Brubaker Anthony Welters grew up in a one-room tenement in Harlem, sleeping behind a curtain with his three brothers, he says. Today, he lives in a five-bedroom, seven-bathroom house on five acres in McLean. He has a 75-acre farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains. For a change of pace, there is a 5,000-square-foot house in Aspen, Colo., recently assessed at $3 million. Welters, 47, made his fortune in health insurance, serving a specialized market. The market is the poor. Federal and state audits concluded in the early and mid-1990s that ineffective oversight by Pennsylvania officials had enabled Welters and his partners to make too much money from their taxpayer-supported business. The audits said the Welters group had paid itself millions of dollars in management fees — paid to other companies they controlled — and millions more in bonuses.
Welters’s health-insurance business expanded to New York in 1994 and New Jersey in 1996. In both states, the HMO was known as Managed Healthcare Systems (MHS). In New York, state investigators discovered something was not right about two clinics that MHS retained to serve patients in the borough of Brooklyn. They determined that from 1995 to 1997 the clinics were being staffed largely by “unsupervised physician assistants or nurse practitioners,” New York state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer announced in May 2000. The investigation also found that patients were “consistently complaining that they were having difficulty getting services or being seen by a doctor.” MHS “failed to take any corrective action or properly oversee” the clinics. Spitzer announced a settlement in which MHS repaid more than $2 million to the Medicaid program for services the clinics never provided. In October 2000 MHS changed its name to AmeriChoice of New York. Anthony Welters, Chairman of AmeriChoice Corp.: “What [should] a person who takes a $200,000 investment and turns it into a billion-dollar company … receive? I don’t know. But I know this: I’m not going to apologize for it.”

Comment: Medicaid's chronic under-funding threatens access to care for the low-income individuals covered by this program primarily because many providers will not participate at rates that frequently do not even pay overhead expenses. Several state governments have turned over their Medicaid funds to private corporations to administer these programs. Mr. Welters exemplifies how well these plans fulfill their corporate responsibility to their shareholders and executives.

United Health Group Defrauded 100 Million Americans Posted on January 13th, 2009 by iwaller
An investigation begun by New York’s Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo said the company Ingenix, a research firm owned by UnitedHealth Group deliberately shorted reimbursements on out-of-network health insurance claims for Americans to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars! Ingenix claimed it relied on ‘independent research from across the health care industry’ to determine reimbursement rates. However, UnitedHealth Group and its company Ingenix manipulated the health care claims presented by millions of Americans having health insurance and shorted their reimbursements between 10% and 28% of what the coverage should have paid. Instead, UnitedHealth Group, pocketed the millions of dollars it shorted Americans. UnitedHealth Group provides health benefits to 26 million Americans. Nearly all health care insurance companies in the country were using the same low reimbursement rates. Some of the largest health insurance companies who utilize the same Ingenix system are United Health Care (owned by UnitedHealth Group), Aetna, Cigna, Wellpoint/Empire BlueCross BlueShield and Genix. These companies are currently under investigation in New York suspected of participating in the same reimbursement fraud. How ironic UnitedHealth Group’s mission statement says in part: “We seek to enhance the performance of the health system and improve the overall health and well-being of the people we serve…We work with health care professionals to expand access to high-quality health care so people get the care they need at an affordable price.” Rather than anyone going to jail, UnitedHealth Group settled with the New York Attorney General by agreeing to pay $50 Million as the settlement to be used to establish and create a new database to determine rates for patients who choose physicians outside of the insurance giant’s network. Little good this does for the millions of Americans who were ripped off by these insurance scumbags. “This is a huge scam that affected hundreds of millions of Americans [who were] ripped off by their health insurance companies,” says Cuomo. “This was unethical, and it robbed vulnerable patients of insurance reimbursements they deserved.” Cuomo is now investigating other insurance companies that use Ingenix’s database. There may be millions more on the line as well. Of course, as is the corporate way of the guilty, UnitedHealth Group stated “We respectfully disagree with the New York Attorney General’s findings that we manipulated data … (or that our ownership of Ingenix was a conflict of interest.) We agreed to his settlement because it was an effective way to address any perceived conflict of interest.” The American Medical Association, represented by Dr. Nancy Nielson, president-elect of the AMA stated “there is a profit motive for keeping reimbursement low.” ”It is shocking and unacceptable for an insurance company to hide behind a shroud of secrecy”. Nielson also said “It is another example of UnitedHealth playing by its own rules.” This is not the first time UnitedHealth has been involved in legal action. In 2000, the AMA filed a lawsuit in federal court in New York over the exact same reimbursement issues. In May of 2008, Oxford Health Insurance, Inc, a unit of UnitedHealth Group, had to refund $50 million to small business customers in New York to settle claims it overcharged for health insurance policies back in 2006. More trouble from the past, when former CEO, William W. McGuire, M.D. was charged with securities fraud by the SEC. Mr. McGuire ultimately found guilty, had to repay $468 million as a partial settlement of the prosecution. In summary, I am of the opinion that corporate America is as corrupt as anywhere on earth. CEO bilking millions in golden parachutes and executive compensation, while American citizens fund their luxurious lifestyles with hard earn money, simply to be overcharged, cheated and ripped off by the rich and powerful. The UnitedHealth Group scam, is no different that the crooks on Wall Street: AIG, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Citigroup, and other corporate manipulators such as Shell Oil, Exxon-Mobile, and so many other financial and energy leading companies. The free market system is over in America, thanks to corporate greed which took its roots during the Reagan trickledown economic philosophy. Corporate America cannot and should not be trusted and the federal government is almost in the same boat. Disdain for hardworking Americans by the Wall Street and Corporate America is so prevalent, they no longer tried to hide. The ‘haves’ continues to increase the divide between the ‘have not’s. Americans, Republicans and Democrats, should be outraged and the raping and pillaging of their money by Corporate America. We must begin to demand a government that works with incorporating fines and bringing to justice those criminals who rob, steal and cheap on a national basis from hard working citizens. None of the men leading these companies have gone to jail. Where is the justice for middle American who pays the bills for these outlaws?
