FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Federal authorities have charged three people in an alleged $1 billion health care fraud scam, accusing them of using their network of more than two dozen nursing homes in Miami to bilk the taxpayer-funded Medicare program.

According to an indictment unsealed Friday, Philip Esformes and his conspirators referred patients their nursing homes and assisted living facilities even though they did not qualify for the services.
