The Department's attorneys and agents make up our front line in stopping those criminals, and I want to thank you for all that you do. Attorney General Michael Mukasey May 28, 2008 Dear United States Attorneys: America leads the world in quality health care. Each year our government spends billions of dollars to make that care available to individuals who might not otherwise be able to afford it, including veterans, children, the elderly and the poor. But with such expansive government spending for health care comes the potential for fraud and abuse. When I was an Assistant United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, I saw, as you see, how health care fraud and abuse can badly hurt the intended beneficiaries of government health care programs and drain resources we need to help the truly deserving. The efforts of the Department of Justice to fight this fraud and abuse, led by your hard work in this area, are necessary to maintain the quality and integrity of our nation's health care system. Ensuring that abuses in the provision of health care are appropriately addressed is an important priority of the Department of Justice and its components, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Working with your law enforcement partners throughout federal and state enforcement agencies, you work tirelessly to bring to justice those who would prey on the vulnerabilities of government programs intended to help our most vulnerable citizens. I speak on behalf of the Attorney General and the leadership offices within the Department when I express our sincere gratitude for your efforts. Keep up the good work. I, and your country, thank you. Sincerely, Mark Filip Deputy Attorney neral
