I feel sorry for the guy that was there for a job interview...and to find the FBI there instead...although the article states during the investigation that is will be business as usual...BD
For the past two years, analysts have been asking how fast-growing WellCare Health Plans of Tampa has been able to make so much money running government health plans for the poor and elderly. Now government investigators may be asking the same thing. On a rainy Wednesday morning, more than 200 federal and state agents swarmed WellCare's campus on Henderson Road in Tampa, forcing employees onto the sidewalk and into their cars.
Steven Meitzen, 51, who arrived at WellCare about 9:40 a.m. for a job interview, said he was initially told it was a bomb scare. "Later on, I talked to someone who said the FBI had a subpoena and were looking for records," he said.
The timing of the raid could be detrimental as WellCare is in the midst of convincing seniors to sign up for its 2008 plans.
This is so sad that there are companies out there like this that are still attempting to screw over the seniors. It makes me sick how much money the government and private health care insurers make off of innocent people just trying to get by and stay covered. It's so sad! For those of you in agreement, you should check out AARP's petition for Medicare on www.thisissorediculous.com. We need to get our voices heard so more of this doesn't happen.
