United States First Circuit

Convictions for health care fraud are affirmed, where: 1) the district court did not err in finding the no-fault automobile insurance program was a "health care benefit program" under the relevant statute; 2) the underlying fraud sufficiently affected interstate commerce, so defendants' constitutional challenge fails; and 3) the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to ask defendants' proposed voir dire questions concerning racial bias.
