Billions of dollars in alleged fraudulent healthcare spending is being investigated in California, specifically probing foreign nationals operating illegal hospice facilities — officials announced Friday in a bombshell press conference.
“We have witnessed a sevenfold increase in hospice in LA County, sevenfold. That doesn’t happen naturally,” Dr Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services told The Post during at the press conference.
“There is not seven times more deaths in LA County than there were five years ago. These are fraudsters, and these do tend to be foreign influences, either Russian and Armenian gangs, mafia, that are leading a lot of these efforts.”
Fraudsters who run these facilities are working with about “100 bad doctors,” who convince a patient they’re dying to enroll them in hospice care, Dr Oz said, adding about 100,000 people have handed over their Medicare numbers.
“We are major focused on this issue, and I think our suspicion, our belief, is that the fraud in California will magnify whatever’s happening in Minnesota,” United States Attorney Bill Essayli said. “What’s happening in Minnesota pales in comparison to the level of fraud that we believe is occurring in California.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom pushed back on the allegations, writing on X that the he has “blocked over $125 BILLION in fraud, arrested criminal parasites leaching off of taxpayers, and protected taxpayers from the exact kind of scam artist Trump celebrates, excuses, and pardons.”
The fraud allegations came to light after the Trump administration announced recently it will appoint a new attorney general position to focus on tackling fraud.

Drip, drip, drip.
It’s good that Dr. Oz is talking about the fraud. But I wonder. Would everyone in DC be getting involved now had it not been for that citizen journalist, Nick Shirley?
Just curious.
🤔
When the numbers come in Minnesota will look like a clerical error.
100% believable and likely true.
Now wew know why there’s this fake stink over the entirely justifiable ICE shootong in Minneapolis; it’s to cover all of the DemonRat fraud there and elswhere.
Foreign fraudsters, either Russian and Armenian gangs, run these facilities are working with about “100 bad doctors,” who convince a patient they’re dying to enroll them in hospice care; about 100,000 people have handed over their Medicare numbers. The suspicion is that the fraud in Newsom’s California will magnify whatever’s happening in Minnesota. Minnesota pales in comparison to the level of fraud occurring in California.
CA DemonRats have turned utterly evaporating public money into a form pf science; just look at the $100 billion squandered on the CA “high speed rail” project without a single mile of track being constructed.
Gavin was “ah-fixin’to get ready to get the train agoin’, with 1000 Million dollars. The question is, how much money did he and Aunt Nancy keep for a rainy day.
No drip, drip....one step at a time...
“Sacramento Hospice, Daycare, and Learing Center”
Why the heck didn’t I go in to politics are get the “liberal gene” from my insane liberal democrat parents and just start a scam to rip off tax payers?
I can't say one way or another but JDV owes his azz to Nick because it's clear Trump is ready to shift power to JDV.
There is a scenario where a Dem House attempts to impeach Trump and he goes nuclear: exposes nearly the entire Democrat caucus as Marxists by revealing their communications going back to 2016; poisons the Democrat 2028 primary by extending that comms reveal to governors and other blue state elected officials; puts it all in a government database with AI agentry making it simple to see how these Marxists are funded -- how they steal from US taxpayers, while coordinating with foreign marxist governments and neogovs (we scratched the surface with USAID) -- then Trump declares a National State of Emergency on a wartime footing; and either uses the suspension of habeus corpus to begin arresting these domestic terrorists, or hands it all over to JDV.
A lot of that money has to be bouncing back to democrat politicians, otherwise they would be the good guys riding to the rescue.
And they expect this to be the status quo, and people can’t complain or do anything about it.
Kalifornia is the country’s gold standard for Democrat political crime of looting the public’s purse by the elected elite and their cronies for their election rigging and voter fraud. The entire political system in Kalifornia needs to be crushed in order to clean out all of the crime and criminals. They all need to go to prison for the billions of dollars they have stolen from the citizens of that state.
Which is why they're circling the wagons, it's an existential threat to the Democratic Party.
And the far-left bass turds want more for the MinnieSomali thieves.
Yesterday: A-Walz.
Tomorrow: NewSCUM.
I’m loving each new day in Trumpistan!
