Protecting Patients: The False Claims Act discourages companies from selling unsafe medical equipment and technologies and discourages doctors and hospitals from performing unnecessary surgeries and procedures. By providing disincentives for medical fraud, the False Claims Act saves lives.

Protecting Consumers: The False Claims Act discourages companies from shorting consumers on the numbers of pills purchased, repackaging old medicines and presenting them as new, and charging consumers more than what they should be paying for health care equipment, procedures and medicines. By helping ferret out fraud, the False Claims Act not only works to contain health care costs, it also helps consumers keep cash in their pockets.

Protecting Soldiers: The False Claims Act discourages government contractors from supplying guidance systems that do not guide, weapons that do not fire, and helicopters that crash. By helping ensure that our soldiers, airmen and sailors have equipment that operates in the field, the False Claims Act saves lives and makes us a stronger nation.

Protecting Senior Citizens and the Disabled: The False Claim Act discourages nursing homes from delivering substandard care to nursing home patients, and price-gouging the Medicaid program for goods and services. By bolstering the financial integrity of Medicaid, the False Claims Act helps protects America's oldest, poorest and most vulnerable.
