The authors describe a constitutional challenge in Zafirov v. Florida Medical Associates that argues the False Claims Act’s qui tam provisions unlawfully let private whistleblowers exercise executive power, threatening a key tool behind roughly 80% of government fraud recoveries, most of it in health care.
