She is an absolute psychopath and should be jailed for life.
It also prevents her from participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health care programs.
This is pretty unfair imo. I don't think she would going to used them, but still.
It's unclear what they mean by "participate" in this context. The sentence right before that is talking about being barred from receiving payments from federal health programs, so I'm wondering if they mean "participating" on the provider's side, rather than the patient's.
Don't really care enough to look into it though.
From the official OIG website:
HHS-OIG has authority under 1128(a) of the Social Security Act to exclude from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other Federal health care programs individuals who have been convicted of certain crimes, including criminal offenses related to health care fraud. An exclusion is an administrative sanction that protects Federal health care programs and the people they serve by prohibiting payment for any health care item or service furnished, ordered, or prescribed by an excluded person.
I could see it argued both ways. It looks like this is meant to prohibit her from working with or receiving payment from any group in this sector.
From the wording it's difficult to tell if this means she also won't be able to be reimbursed for her own personal healthcare costs by any of these programs.
And if anyone really wants to get into the legalese: https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/title11/1128.htm
It's not about fair, it's about sending the message that you don't fuck with rich people's money, especially not in a way that publically embarrasses them.
Imagine she's 80, broke, alone and is struggling. She's already served her time, but she's still not allowed health services? Seems kinda fucked, and it's fucked that the government has access to this slippery slope of banning convicts from health services
They haven't banned her as a future recipient of health services. They just effectively banned her from ever making a dime in the entire health services industry.
nah fuck her
If they don't want her to participate in Medicare and Medicaid then go all the way and not allow her to pay into it with her tax dollars. This seems like cruel and unusual punishment.
EDIT: It also seems arbitrary because I don't think this was part of her sentence.
I read that as in she is unable to work or research, in the medical field, not as a patient.
I honestly believe that this (what she did) happens all of the time. But she was too young, too female, to get away with it.
I suspect we won’t see any more consequences in the future for most people. I’d love to be proven wrong.
But she was too young, too female, to get away with it.
The combination of these two usually makes it easier to get away with things
Hmmm
Echoes of Martha Stewart.
Too young, white, and female? You mean the least incarcerated demographic in the USA?
It's surely not because she's a fake voiced sociopath who got the hopes up of millions of patients and healthcare workers alike... falsely representing technology to defraud millions of investors...
Nope... Definitely because she's a middle aged woman lol.
The only reason she even got funding was because she was the female steve jobs
Justice is not swift.
Taylor is though
Hard to move fast when you're blind
It also prevents her from participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health care programs.
...
Holmes is serving an 11-year, three-month sentence
So what happens if she gets sick in prison?
Participating as a provider, not as a patient
She will still get benefits, every inmate gets benefits even though the care you receive in prison is low quality it's still cruel and unusual to not give prisoners access to at least minimal health care needs. A case like that wouldn't even make it to the supreme court. She just can't receive payments or work for a company that receives payments from those services.
