Full title: A top Trump health appointee reportedly tried to get taxpayers to reimburse her for $47,000 in jewelry that got stolen from a rented SUV
President Donald Trump's appointee to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services requested that taxpayers cover roughly $47,000 worth of jewelry and other items that were stolen from her while she traveled for work, Politico reported Saturday evening.
The appointee, Seema Verma, reportedly had her luggage stolen from a rented SUV in July 2018 during a trip to San Francisco, where she gave a speech.
Among the items Verma sought reimbursement for were some two dozen pieces of jewelry appraised at $43,065, $2,000 worth of clothes, a $325 moisturizer, $349 noise-cancelling headphones, and an Ivanka Trump-brand pendant valued at $5,900 and made of gold, prasiolite, and diamonds
Verma reportedly wrote in her claim that none of the jewelry was insured, and that she had had the items appraised by a jeweler several weeks after the theft.

“reportedly” = fake news ...
Really? Was she working with that guy who was building a quantum leap generator in his garage?
OMG! She filed an insurance claim?!!!
From Yahoo ?
bullshit
Another Car break in happened in San Francisco ? I’m shocked.
Seema Verma needs to be attacking Nazi Pelosi for compensation.
The ‘Rats need to be made responsible for their Peeps. Foreign or Domestic.
But no one blinked an eye when Solyndra pissed away millions of tax dollars on a green scheme.
It was not an insurance claim. It was a claim for you and me to reimburse her.
And I cant get perdiem to cover the cost of a toothbrush LOL
hoooboy- they sure got President Trump now-
If she was driving a government supplied vehicle , the insurance would have been through the federal government therefore she would have filed with the federal government.
According to the article she was using a rented vehicle but it was being used for “work travel” so it was covered.
We have photos and sales receipts for such items.
My daughter and son-in-law were visiting SF last year from Des Moines. Their rental SUV had a window smashed and my granddaughter's backpack was stolen. Good news is that my granddaughter didn't have $47,000 in jewelry inside.
Thieves know to target rental vehicles. Do not leave anything in your vehicle that can be seen from outside while parked. Thieves are also known to break windows just to get pocket change seen inside.
It was a joke.
So she got less than 10% of the value of what was stolen, in accordance with policy. Where’s the beef?
Shall we wait for Politico to scour the reimbursements to Obama officials with equal fervor? We’ll all be dead first.
If the vehicle was rented by the government, the vehicle would have been self insured by the government just like every other government vehicle. Therefore the insurance company is the government.
Absolutely!
