The Ballad of an Everett Whistleblower (Homo Bashing on Whittier Drive)
The Ballad of an Everett Whistleblower
Cousin of an ex mayor, she's no Jean Harlow
More like the mob family of Cousin Carlo
The City Councilor of Ward 3
Permanently banned by Little Ol' Me!
If you've got a limp wrist, please don't act queeny
or get your insurance from Sabatini
They're homo bashing tonight on Whittier Drive
With Carlo's Cousin as the head of the hive
The Room Coordinator, Such a Divider
She asked if I have sex with my Care Provider
There's crazy Charlie with his homophobic rants
The evil silver haired munchkin,
don't touch "her" plants
Miss Lonely hearts in need of a doggie's muzzle
Shut up, Whistleblower, and do your puzzle
Her "Be Kind" signs just a distraction
She had to go to Bumble, before she got any action
She leaves the job early, watch her alibi crumble
She has to pick up early her (deleted on advice of counsel)
Online dating, she calls herself shy!~
No social skills/ in real life / to find a decent guy
She has obligations to the elders in the city
And goes into a rage when Whistleblower gets witty!
If you got fear like a cocker spaniel
Better start reading the Book of Daniel
A delusion of omnipotence a woman in authority shrieks
give her a spanking with the rest of the freaks.
The aggressive bunch they rule by fear
and take their anger out if you are queer
THIS IS A FIRST AMENDMENT PARODY
OF THIN-SKINNED PUBLIC FIGURES
AND THE VERY BAD PEOPLE THEY CODDLE

United States False Claims Act Case Against eHealth and Others Survives Motion to Dismiss
https://www.whistleblowerllc.com/united-states-false-claims-act-case-against-ehealth-survives-motion-to-dismiss/
March 25, 2026
On March 25th, Chief Judge Denise Casper of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued an eagerly-anticipated opinion in a high profile False Claims Act matter.
The Allegations in the eHealth Case
The case, initially brought by a whistleblower, alleges that numerous insurance companies offered and paid illegal kickbacks to brokers, in exchange for referrals. It also alleges that the insurers illegally discriminated against certain beneficiary applicants. The United States intervened in the case against eHealth and others in January 2025. The U.S. filed its own Complaint on May 1, 2025. The case is captioned United States ex rel. Shea v. eHealth, et al., 21-cv-11777-DJC (D. Mass.) (“the eHealth case”). The defendants include four brokerages (eHealth, GoHealth, CVS Health, and SelectQuote). The case also names three Medicare Advantage insurers — Aetna, Humana, and Elevance Health — as defendants.

The Court Rejects Defendants’ Attempts to Dismiss the Case
Defendants had made numerous arguments to the Court in their bid to get the False Claims Act case dismissed. The Court, however, rejected each. As a result, the case will move forward into the information gathering stage known as discovery.
Regardless of its Name, a “Pay to Play” Scheme is Not Authorized by Medicare Rules
First, the Court tackled Defendants’ contention that the payments at issue were permissible under the program’s rules. The Court acknowledged that “marketing” payments are allowed. The Court noted, however, that the “pay-to-play scheme” alleged by the United States went far beyond “marketing” payments. Judge Casper noted that the fact that the defendant insurers and brokers used the term “marketing” in their contracts (allegedly to mask the true intent) is irrelevant. Citing a case litigated by our team, the Court noted that it is the “substance of the agreements and payments that control, not their form.”
