It's MOSTLY Medicaid-funded.

42% are foreign-born across the US.

78% are foreign-born in NYC where most home health aides are used.

Want to guess where the fraud is?

If it were Medicare, that would make sense.

Medicaid? احتيال.

(That's "fraud" in Islamism.)

If you’re a caregiver for someone you love, you’ve probably experienced your share of financial strain. Family caregivers spend close to $7,200 per year of their own money helping loved ones who are ill, aging, or living with disabilities. Some caregivers stop saving, take on more debt, have unpaid bills, or even leave their own jobs so they can take care of a family member or friend.

Finding reliable information about getting paid as a family caregiver takes time — something you already have too little of. Each state’s Medicaid program has different requirements and rules, and many have long wait lists. But what if you could get paid to care for your loved one?

X banned me for violating the rules even though I never post. My appeals are lost in AI purgatory. So I am a little mad at X.

Elder care. Child care. All fake and fraudulent.

There’s a lot of “gray caregiving” going on. Often their patients are elderly and on a fixed income, and have “timed out” from home health care and hospice by not declining fast enough. There is often a push for euthanasia, which they resist, as well as moving into (death) nursing homes of poor quality, so they decline faster.

Caregivers vary in lots of ways. If the patient(s) no longer drive, they chauffeur and then ‘inherit’ the car, for example. They might also get stocks and bonds, or even become insurance beneficiaries. It’s very flexible.

Need to end Medicaid and start over for the truly needy.

this is a tricky one. I know people who are slaves to their parents life choices, and who will never have normal lives because of it.

Sounds like a good part-time job for stay at home moms. An hour or 2 checking up on clients while their own kids are in school. Not much money in it but their husbands can get a 2nd job at the 7-11 working nights. Free slurpees. A foreigner might resent working like that. It would be plantation-like.

I saw an excellent video of a guy who was visiting many of the daycare centers and healthcare facilities in Minneapolis
There were no children or elderly in any of them
The Somali’s called the police on him at several
I believe the total fraud for the few he visited was around $120,000,000. He was adding it up as he went
As Gomer said, Surprise, Surprise

That is not a surprise. Everything that deals with old people is hot for now. Boomers are old, faltering and dying and there are a lot of us.

This will start happening again in about 20 years.

_________________________________
MN has another social service program for families of disabled. Say the mom is disabled. She can hire her daughter to come in and clean for her. The daughter will earn $14 per hour. Then the brother can come in and give the mom and bath and put her to bed. $20 per hour.

It's a real scam because there is no oversight. My friend is a quad. I get 10 hours a week for office, banking, shopping. Lisa also get 20 hours a day of PCA. This is honest. But so many seniors and disabled are not getting their services, because the family is abusing the program.
