AP reports that "conservatives," led by Grover Norquist, are asking congress to to "cut back a critical provision [of federal law]: the authority to pay hefty rewards to whistle-blowers who provide inside information about improper activities by medical groups, drug companies and other healthcare providers."
Now, why would he want to do that? It can't be a fiscal issue because the government gets back considerably more money than they pay out-- they are only giving a
cut to the whistle-blower of money they otherwise would lose. It can only be about protecting
corrupt corporations, by removing one of the incentives for whistle-blowing.
