Brief two cases--
One that predates the ACA, and
One after ACA’s passage, that demonstrates the importance of compliance with these laws:
Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, Fraud, Waste, and Abuse claims for all applicable violations of CMS, False Claims Act.
CASE for reference- whistleblower demonstrate ACA protection for health care workers
ruling party upheld the anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation contained in ACA. it is the case of a nurse who works in the hospital who claims that the hospital fired her because she has complained about and refused to participate in the hospital program, which violates state law. the hospital already dismissed her claim by proving she is a whistleblower than ARB ( administrative review board) reversed judge decision as she suggests judge to allow retaliation claim to be processed because a claim has met the ACA protected activity. in this way how ACA protects injustice.
CASE that predates an ACA(affordable care act)
