Oregon Joins the Deficit Reduction Club

By Zachary A. Kitts

ADVERTISEMENTS


Congratulations to Oregon for becoming the 25th state to join the Deficit Reduction Club by passing a state false claims act.

There is no need to speculate about the benefits Oregon will receive from this common-sense legislation--we have the examples of Virginia and 24 other states to guide us. 

The Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act became law on July 1, 2003.  That same year, Virginia recovered $11.8 million in civil penalties and treble damages from dishonest healthcare providers.  In FY06-07, by way of contrast, Virginia recovered $117 million, and for FY 07-08 Virginia recovered more than $450 million from dishonest healthcare providers.
