9/n Final(?) thoughts:

If any elected official or installed functionary wants to talk about "Medicare fraud", they must talk about this, first. How much pharma $$$ have they accepted? How has that influenced *their* votes, investigations, actions?

What are they doing to recoup the losses from corporate fraud against their constituents the reputedly represent?

8/n Op. cit.:

"Gilead violated the Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act ...

Because many of these prescriptions were billed to Medicare and Medicaid, the American taxpayers paid the bill for Gilead’s illegal conduct."

I'll put it this way: Gilead committed Medicare & Medicaid FRAUD.

7/n Additional Reference:

"Gilead engaged in a nationwide scheme to boost the sales of six prescription drugs [Complera, Stribild, Genvoya, Odefsey, Descovy, and Biktarvy] for the treatment of HIV/AIDS by paying kickbacks worth millions of dollars to hundreds of physicians and other healthcare providers."

"Gilead’s kickbacks to targeted physicians induced them to switch patients from affordable, well-established drug cocktails that successfully controlled the virus to Gilead’s newest combination drugs that often cost more than $40,000 per year for each patient and risked exposing specific patients to health hazards, such as kidney damage"
