Hyppocrates v Hypocrite

NOTE:  
      Charging the North Broward Hospital District was guilty of over-paying its physician employees, the U.S. Justice Department filled suit against the public health care system under provisions of the Federal Stark Law in 2010.
      Six years later, Broward Health's governing Board of Commissioners agreed to pay nearly $70 million to the Federal government in response to the suit.
      So...
      How did all this impact the level of compensation the District paid to its physician-employees?
