Attorney Andrew Grosso spent 10 years as an Assistant US Attorney in Tampa, Florida, and Boston, Massachusetts before founding a law firm in Washington DC which focuses on whistle blower and federal fraud cases. He also formed the nation's first federal-state health care fraud task force. Discusses health fraud and health reform activities. Grosso talks about the prosecution of health care fraud cases in the late 1980s which began in Florida where there are a large number of retirees.  There the fraud involved billing for services that were not provided.  In Boston the fraud was more sophisticated and involved manipulating the administration of Medicare. Today most States have False Claims Acts. Around 50% of the claims made under those acts are health care related.  In today's health care system, there is a large amount of soft fraud.
