   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-2979
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Loken and Bye, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - False Claims Act. In a qui tam action alleging Bayer 
   defrauded the U.S. government through its marketing and sale of the 
   cholestrol drug Baycol, the district court did not err in dismissing the 
   claims relating to federal health insurance programs such as Medicare and 
   Medicaid; but the court erred in dismissing the claims that Bayer 
   fraudulently induced the Department of Defense to enter into two contracts 
   to purchase the drug, and the case is remanded for further proceedings on 
   that claim. Judge Loken, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
