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? “ . . . [T]he Justice Department has announced a preliminary settlement of a paltry $137.5 million to satisfy its whistle-blower claims.” . . .I wonder what the guys at the DoJ got?
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.” [my emphasis]
Ken Silverstein posts this stuff all the time. A good man to keep on the radar.
