Dallas Principal Rachael Jones was quoted Healthcare Dive's article "Healthcare False Claims settlements reached record $5.7B in 2025."

Rachael points to possible drivers in the increased number of filings, one being misconduct by pharmaceutical companies and physicians, saying that when actions are not in patients’ best interests, “the motivation to go after that is really high, because you can identify with the people.”
