MoveOn Civic Action

There's an upcoming opportunity in Brooklyn on Monday at 8:30 a.m. to take action on an important progressive issue. Here's what's happening:

Join us at the Fort Hamilton Post office as we greet our neighbors mailing in their tax returns. We'll be handing out leaflets, reminding them that our taxes should be supporting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, keeping hospitals open, and improving public education. Come help us raise awareness in our community of the need to put human needs before military spending waste.

This invitation is from Vicki M., a local MoveOn member who is organizing an important progressive action in Brooklyn on Monday, April 15 at 8:30 a.m.. For additional details, click here or check out the email below.

Want to support our work? MoveOn Civic Action is entirely funded by our 7 million members—no corporate contributions, no big checks from CEOs. And our tiny staff ensures that small contributions go a long way. Chip in here.

$375M Health Care Scheme Went Unnoticed For Years

Authorities say Jacques Roy and six others indicted for health care fraud certified 11,000 Medicare beneficiaries through more than 500 home health providers over five years.

Some of those indicted alongside Roy are accused of fraudulently signing up patients or offering them cash, free groceries or food stamps to give their names and a number used to bill Medicare. Medicare patients qualify for home health care if they are confined to their homes and need care there, according to the indictment. U.S. Attorney Sarah Saldana said some people supposedly eligible for home care were found working on their cars outside.
