Healthcare exec Philip Esformes pleads guilty to Medicare fraud, but spared prison time
Briefly

A South Florida businessman pleaded guilty on Thursday to stealing millions of dollars from the taxpayer-funded Medicare program, capping a long-running healthcare fraud case marked by a commutation of his initial 20-year sentence by President Donald Trump in late 2020.
The plea agreement was reached earlier this month between the Justice Department and Esformes in one of the nation's biggest Medicare fraud cases.
