ABC: Judge says US government can be sued for Flint water crisis

Posted by | Apr 23, 2019 |

Federal Judge Linda Parker agrees with what the residents of Flint, MI have known all along: “the lies went on for months.” Perhaps this is a step towards redemption for those affected. Federal Judge Linda Parker didn’t determine whether EPA employees were negligent when Flint’s water system became contaminated with lead in 2014 and 2015. The decision at this stage is more narrow, with the judge saying Thursday that the government isn’t immune to a lawsuit. The EPA general inspector’s office found that ‘budget shortcomings at the state and local levels” may have contributed to the delay in proper adherence to the Safe Drinking Water Act. The Associated Press is awaiting response for a comment from the EPA regarding the findings. SOURCE: 1: ABC News: Judge says US government can be sued for Flint water crisis  ...

Bloomberg: Florida man who bribed son into Penn, guilty in $1.3 Billion health fraud

Posted by | Apr 22, 2019 | , ,

Florida man Philip Esformes, a 50-year-old Miami Beach resident, was convicted on Friday “of running an 18-year, $1.3 billion health-care fraud”1that prosecutors called the largest scheme ever prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department. Esformes is accused of using a network of nursing homes and assisted-living facilities in South Florida “to defraud government health-care programs.”1 However, according to prosecutors, he didn’t even do it well. The facilities were said to be inadequate and often the care was unnecessary (because that’s where the money is!). The total value of fraudulent claims that his companies submitted to Medicare and Medicaid exceeded $1.3 billion. “Esformes made off with at least $37 million for himself from 1998 to 2016, according to prosecutors, using the money to finance a lavish lifestyle of fancy cars and a $360,000 watch. Esformes also used some of the proceeds from the fraud to bribe the University of Pennsylvania basketball coach to help get his son into the school, prosecutors said. The coach pleaded guilty to money laundering last year in connection with the case.”1 Prosecutors said Esformes bribes doctors to admit patients to the facilities he operated and also bribed a Florida state regulator so he could be apprised of surprise inspections ahead of time. “A jury found Esformes guilty on 20 counts in U.S. district court in the Southern District of Florida. Charges included conspiracy to defraud the United States, receiving...

ABC: St. Pete mom battling cancer turns to Facebook to find breast milk donations

Posted by | Apr 19, 2019 | , , , ,

When Jessica Purcell was nine weeks pregnant with her second child, she found out she had cancer. But thankfully, although she immediately underwent surgery and chemo (12 rounds while pregnant) her son Jameson was born happy and healthy in March of 2019. However, her cancer treatment left her without the ability to breastfeed. Totally dry. Because she didn’t qualify for the Mothers’ Milk Bank of Florida, a friend gave her some of her own breast milk. And it was at that moment that she realized she could ask for donations: Within a day of her post, women across the country had shared the post thousands of times. And “Purcell knows she is not the only one who could use the help. She wants to encourage all women to donate if they can.”1 Purcell says, “Don’t just let your milk go bad – do something with it.”1 If you are in the Tampa Bay area, want to help, and can donate to Purcell, please contact her through Facebook (click on the post above to go to her Facebook page).
