Some failures can be blamed on business errors and mismanagement the investigation found but others resulted because the plan operators paid themselves big salaries and ran up huge expense accounts then quit paying claims and moved on. State and Federal authorities including postal inspectors the office of labor racketeering and the Fri Are pursuing civil and criminal investigations of dozens of health plans across the country Gannett said. At least two Federal indictments already have been handed up and More Are expected Over the next few months the report said. The Senate investigations subcommittee chaired by sen. Sam Nunn d-ga., has scheduled hearings on the problem for May 14-15. The Gannett investigation found that while Many victims were left without health coverage the plans provided handsome lifestyles for their operators. For example Michael Rubell and James Helm owners of Rubell Helm insurance services of Irvine calif., which owes millions in unpaid claims in Florida Texas and California took $7,100-a-week salaries Gannett said citing court documents in a lawsuit brought by California against the pair. Rubell and Helm declined to talk to Gannett for the Story. By contrast Many victims Are of modest Means such As teachers service station attendants and textile Mill workers.
