The hospital benefited and as a result your bill was lower. Now they just going to increase their charges to your bill and you going to pay the fine. The fine that you support is now going to be paid out of your pocket.

Closing Wake Med would be devasting to Wake County. Thousands of people would be without care, thousands would be out of work, business would no longer be able to sell to them. I am glad some of you like the fine and maybe even think it should have been higher. Use your brain--just who do you think will be paying the fine. The patients will have it added to their bill. It is going to increase the hospital expenses. The money collected went into the bank for the hospital. My wife and I have both been patients at Wake Med several times. We always found the staff and the patient care excellent. Can you imagin closing every Wake Med facility? Where do you think the people will go. The emergency room is always packed with people.

It never mentioned if any doctors were involved. just saying

I never liked this hospital and still don't - the staff was just so rude and inconsiderate - i couldn't believe how I walked into an emergency room and was greeted unfairly by the receptionist - that was 3-4 years ago and i haven't stepped one foot into that hospital again. Never will - I'd rather get treated at Rex Hospital - much better experience.!~

Did anybody get fired? Probably not...business as usual. They'll find another way to steal money. Lack of character doesn't matter.

Boyle, lot of noise, no action!

While it's certain that someone got off from possible jail time, I do understand the judge's ruling and glad it was added into the article so people would understand.

What made him change his mind? Is there a pay off here? Just wondering?

People do not understand that if you are prosecuted for Medicare/Medicaid Fraud, NOT convicted. You cannot take care of ANY Medicare/Medicaid patients at all. Who gets hurt if WakeMed doesn't accept Medicare or Medicaid? EVERYONE in Wake County-Dazd N Confused

You know what? There's other hospitals.

By letting them just pay a fine, almost certainly a smaller amount than they stole, what reason do they, or any other hospital, have to simply not continue defrauding people?

"Man! if we get caught we only get to keep HALF the money we stole!"

I've been and lived in many states and NC has to be the most criminal state there is,not from the people but from the "Respected",corporations and politicians.........
