In March, investigative journalist Nick Shirley released video onuncovering $170 million in fraud in California.
“We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences,” Nick Shirley said.
“California’s version of Medicaid called ‘Medi-Cal’ has more than doubled since 2022 from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion in 2026. Their population, however, has not grown exponentially. However, their spending has,” Nick Shirley said.
“There has been a 1,000 percent increase in hospice care in Los Angeles County,” Nick Shirley said. It’s estimated that the fraud in California could be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.”
Nick Shirley visited ‘hospices’ in Los Angeles and ‘daycares’ in San Diego.
In early April, California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) announced his office had charged 21 suspects in a$267 million hospice fraudring in Southern California.
A Trump administration Fraud Task Force also conducts raids against healthcare fraudsters across the southern part of the state. Eight people were arrested and charged withover $50 MILLION in fraud.
Signaling the staggering level of fraud in the Democrat-run state, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, told journalist Katie Pavlich that NOT ONE of the 450 hospices in California that have had their payments paused has called to have them reinstated.
Katie Pavlich:What is the response to Democrats arguing that this rooting out of fraud, that it’s cutting Medicaid services? What is your response to that?
Dr. Oz:Not at all. They know it’s manufactured. That’s why when they say this sort of, you know, like sheepishly mention the possibility that you might once in a while hurt someone that’s innocent. I argue that if you take a child with autism and you give them the services they need, you’re doing a great service. It’s the right thing to do. We’re great people. We’ll always help folks in need. But if every mother is pretending because they’re getting paid, that the children in the neighborhood have autism, which is bad for those kids, by the way.
