Quick Health, a Pennsylvania-based telemarketing call center located near Reading, has been indicted along with its former chief executive officer and three other top executives for operating a nationwide health insurance fraud scheme. The company is accused of using false, misleading, and deceptive sales practices to enroll tens of thousands of Americans in bare-bones health plans while falsely claiming these plans offered full coverage. This bait-and-switch tactic has drawn federal scrutiny and legal action. Separately, a pain clinic company involved in pressuring patients into unnecessary injections faced federal prosecution, with its CEO receiving an 18-month prison sentence despite prosecutors seeking nearly 20 years. Additionally, fraud related to Arizona's sober living industry has resulted in financial penalties against involved companies. These cases highlight ongoing issues with for-profit entities exploiting vulnerable populations within the healthcare sector.
