Aaron Rodgers is reportedly dating actress Olivia Munn-- a star on HBO's The Newsroom as well a Democratic activist.

In 2012, Munn campaigned for President Obama's re-election on several campuses around the country, including Marquette: “This election, more than any other election in recent history, is so important because we are choosing between two different paths,” Munn said. “Every day on the campaign, President Barack Obama talks about moving forward and not going back.”

Munn, who appears in the HBO series “The Newsroom,” also criticized the Republican ticket for its stance on abortion and women’s rights.

“Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan do not believe that women should be allowed to make choices over their own bodies,” she said, “and they are promising that they actively will turn back the clock on women’s rights fifty years.”

90 Arrests Made, Mostly in Florida, in Crackdown on Medicare Fraud

Ninety people, including doctors, pharmacy owners and elderly patients, were arrested this week in six cities and charged with submitting fake billings to Medicare worth nearly $260 million, federal officials said Tuesday. Since 2007, when federal agencies stepped up efforts to crack down on Medicare fraud, the authorities have arrested and charged more than 1,900 people who collectively have falsely billed more than $6 billion to the government health program for the elderly and those with disabilities.

A majority of the recent arrests were made in South Florida. Arrests were also made in Detroit, New York City, Los Angeles, Houston and Tampa, Fla.

Among those arrested was an 85-year-old man who allegedly received kickbacks in exchange for ordering home health care services. The schemes included recruiters paying elderly individuals to file excessive claims, home health care agencies seeking payment for services never performed and medical supply companies billing for equipment that was never ordered, officials said. The greatest concern was raised over fraud in Medicare Part D, which provides drug benefits through private insurers.
