Health Care Is Changing... Fraud!

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

One of the many things said by Mayor Summers was Health Care is changing. Something an example he mentioned and I too repeated many times was a story about woman that had developed a simple blood test, that could accurately test for dozens of things for under $5.

Elizabeth Holmes, founder of blood-testing company Theranos, indicted on wire fraud charges

Yesterday she, along with her company were indicted on fraud charges for false claims and defrauding investors...

Read the story here in the Washington Post...

The Cleveland Clinic was duped by her, as well.

What I find interesting is their (the Clinic) total lack of due diligence in investigating the legitimacy of the technology and asking to see the supposed research prior to entering such a high profile alliance.
