Philadelphia – McCaffery Releases White Paper on Pennsylvania False Claims Act
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, November 10, 2011, - Pennsylvania Attorney General Candidate Dan McCaffery is proud to announce the addition of Mr. David Williams, Esq. as a policy advisor to the campaign. Mr. Williams is a graduate of The United States Military Academy at West Point and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Attaining the rank of Captain in the Army, Mr. Williams proudly served our country in Iraq, Bosnia, and Germany. Mr. Williams is currently an attorney at the law firm of Kline & Specter in Philadelphia and focuses his practice on whistleblower and catastrophic injury cases. 
“I am thrilled to announce that David Williams has joined our campaign, his expertise in the area of corporate whistleblower and fraud law will be a true asset,” said McCaffery.
McCaffery is also proud to announce the release of a White Paper on the Pennsylvania False Claims Act. Since 2000, states that have enacted false claims laws have recovered in excess of $7 billion. This act will help promote public safety and the integrity of federal, state, and local programs, in that it will punish and deter life threatening, medically unnecessary procedures; the distribution of adulterated drugs and medical devices; and substandard construction work.
“At present, Pennsylvania is insufficiently protected from the fraud and abuse that drains millions every year from the Commonwealth’s programs, from Medicaid to infrastructure projects,” said McCaffery.
“In short, our FCA will encourage informed “insiders” to come forward regarding fraud; combat the fraudulent activities that affect as much as 10% of Pennsylvania’s health care costs; buttress Pennsylvania’s budget without raising taxes; enable Pennsylvania to recover as much as 54.36% from the amount recovered from a fraudfeasor; and promote public safety and the integrity of Commonwealth programs."
