Holding
The guilty plea of an adult day care owner who admitted 'billing and submitting false and fraudulent claims to Medicare for psychotherapy services that were never provided' scores 81 (America First). The action advances Article XVIII through prosecution of health-care fraud, protects Article IX and the integrity of a public program against 'Over $539,000 in false claims,' and applies Article III's guarantee of equal accountability. The record includes 'billing Medicare for providing psychotherapy services to beneficiaries after they had died.' Standard 70/30 weighting applied. No Automatic Fail.
It is the judgment of this Court that Opinion No. 2026-0947 is hereby entered into the record, in accordance with the America First Constitutional Standard. The score stands. The reasoning is published. The record is public.
