Find a recent case where there has been a violation of a health care law, such as a case involving fraud, privacy, or security. Discuss the following: What tort or criminal law was violated? Who was the investigating agency? Were there civil or criminal penalties and what were the penalties? In your opinion, was this a fair penalty for the violation that occurred?
