二 | The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida announced Thursday that it charged 17 employees of the Broward County Sheriff's Office with wire fraud after they allegedly tried to defraud the government in pandemic relief loans.The defendants, who were charged in separate cases, allegedly received $495,171 in assistance from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program and used the proceeds "to unjustly enrich themselves.""No matter the amount, we will not allow limited federal tax dollars, which were intended to provide a lifeline to small businesses as they struggled to stay afloat during the economically devastating pandemic lockdown, to be swindled by those who were employed in a position of trust and cast aside their duty to uphold and abide by the law," Markenzy Lapointe, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, said in a statement.The U.S. Attorney's Office charged the defendants in separate indictments that were issued between September 14 and Oct. 11. Their charges include wire fraud, which comes with a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted, the U.S.Attorney's Office said.In several of the indictments, the defendants allegedly lied about their income in the application for the assistance, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony said in a statement that his office received a tip that employees were participating "in fraudulent schemes to defraud the federal government," and immediately launched an internal investigation."BSO Public Corruption Unit detectives determined more than 100 employees had submitted applications for the PPP loans. Only the employees who did not obtain the loans legally were subject to criminal investigation," Tony said in a statement.The sheriff told reporters that all of the charged employees were in the process of being terminated.“We still have to follow proper protocols and since these are protected members with union rights and other different statutory obligations from the investigation practices that we have to follow, but I’m not going to sugarcoat or dance around this — at the end of the day, they will be gone," Tony told reporters at a news conference.Lapointe said there was no "conspiratorial component" among the 17 charged.Attorney information for the defendants, who the U.S. Attorney's Office said were all employed by the sheriff's office at the time of their alleged defrauding schemes, was not immediately available.Matt Cowart, president of IUPA Local 6020, the union representing BSO law enforcement deputies, said in a statement to ABC affiliate WPLG that the union was not "privy to all of the investigative facts.""Regardless, employees and all citizens are entitled to and shall receive due process through the court system. The Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) is a large agency and contains approximately 5,500 employees," he said in a statement.。全国人大常委会法工委发言人黄海华21日在记者会上表示，草案三审稿拟细化异地就医医药费用结算要求，增加长期护理保险相关规定。 2026年4月，十四届全国人大常委会第二十二次会议对医疗保障法草案进行了二次审议。
三 | 黄海华在记者会上介绍，根据各方面意见，草案三次审议稿拟作以下主要修改：一是立法目的进一步体现健康优先发展战略，二是完善医疗保障体系有关规定，三是充实医疗保障基金管理有关规定，四是细化异地就医医药费用结算要求，五是增加长期护理保险相关规定，六是完善有关法律责任规定。 谈及草案在加强医保基金管理使用方面的修改完善，黄海华表示，医疗保障基金是老百姓的看病钱、救命钱，基金的使用和管理涉及多个方面，社会关注度很高。在草案审议和征求意见过程中，有不少意见建议进一步明确有关制度要求。 黄海华说，草案三次审议稿积极回应各方意见，根据有关改革精神和实践做法，规定国务院医疗保障行政部门在组织制定基本医疗保险基金支付范围、组织开展循证医学和经济性评价时，除了征求有关部门意见外，还应当采取适当方式听取医疗机构、药品经营单位、相关企业、专家和参保人员的意见，增强相关工作的科学性、民主性。同时，草案还对建立和完善药品、医用耗材集中采购制度，实行多元复合式医疗保险支付方式，优化异地就医直接结算服务等作了规定，为相关改革和工作推进提供法律依据。(完) 【编辑:万纪玮】。
