The U.S. government spends more than $900 billion annually on Medicaid. How much of that money is stolen by criminals? HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. pegs the theft total at $100 billion. I am going to embed the entire quote in the tweet below:
RFK JR: “We shut down 800 hospices. You know what a hospice is? Where you’re going to die. Typically, if you go to a hospice, you leave within 18 days because your dying is terminal.”
“We started looking at these hospices in Los Angeles, and the people never died. Two or three years later they were there, and we’re paying $6,000 a month.”
“We found a hotel room with 29 hospices in it. I mean a hotel, every room was a hospice, and none of them had any patients. They were just addresses.”
“The guys who own them, they were Estonians and Armenians and people from Eastern Europe who were getting the patient numbers. They were stealing them from doctors’ offices.”
“They were also going into poor neighborhoods in Los Angeles and they’d say to the people, ‘We’ll give you this $375 flat-screen TV. You give us your patient number and we’re going to enroll you in this hospice. You don’t ever have to go. We’re just going to enroll you,’ and then we’ll charge Medicaid $6,000 a month forever. And the guy never dies, of course, because he was never sick.”
“We didn’t get a single call from a congressman or from a business owner saying, ‘Oh, you shut down my hospice and all these patients are on the street.’ None of them, because they were all crooked and they knew they were crooked.”

To put this in perspective, with a population of 350 million people, $100B of annual fraud works out to $285 for every man, woman and child in the country. Per year. And that’s just for this one category of fraud.
It’s probably MANY TRILLION in FRAUD!!
You cannot have a MORAL country WITHOUT MORAL MEN AND WOMEN!
Breaking up Black families and giving money to black mothers for having MORE babies!!
The question I always get to is, “Who’s responsible for monitoring the system and enforcing the statutory requirements?” Those are the people who need to be terminated immediately.
In the late 1990s the rules were quietly changed so you did not have to be a US citizen or here legally to access all our social services.
At the same time they also made it much harder for ICE to detain people who were here illegally. And if they were arrested nothing would be done about deporting them.
Fraud? Gee wonder where it is coming from?
How many of these thieves have been tried, convicted, and sentenced to prison where they work on a bicycle hooked to a generator to produce electricity to pay back their theft, as well as to earn food and water for each day they are alive?
One possible suggestion - label it red state fraud or blue state fraud. Paints a picture.
Imprisoned or executed and all of their assets seized.
And most folks are like......Huh? Or, that’s just how it is. 😠
“Being a US citizen doesn’t make you an American!”. Rktman 2026. 👍😊🇺🇸

It never seems to happen. Somehow working for the state or federal government seems to give people unspoken immunity from making costly mistakes.
The open borders Welfare State turned out to be an invitation to the world to come to America to rip of the American taxpayer. And the Democrats are fully onboard with it.
“...supporting and encouraging criminals would seem to be the aim of our gov’t...”. This would explain the 40 trillion deficit, no budget for nearly 20 years, billions funneled through the Ukraine and USAID. It’s a uni-party and you’re not invited.
NFP’S outnumber actual businesses in Shelby County Tennessee. 15,000+ taking public funds to operate as fraud machines.
I would bet nursing homes n hospitals are in on it too.
We helped a friend after his wife died.
Assisted living places let us sign a waiver because he flunked a swallow test. This was so he could eat food that wasn’t puréed.
His health wasn’t getting better.once it came time for nursing home, no waiver could be signed. It was either puréed food or hospice. On hospice his food had texture. On hospice, he couldn’t have any physical therapy at all. He wanted it!!
We figure he would’ve live longer with physical therapy. He lived a little over 4 months on hospice. Makes me wonder how much was billed for the food.
Makes me sick.
I had surgery a few months back and two doctors told me there wasn't ANY safe 'respite' care in my area and they hoped I had family. (death from cancer took my love from me years ago) I had family who came but skilled care would have been nice. Now I have an old friend from high school dying and she is choosing to die alone in her apartment. When these scammers are walking off with one dollar out of every nine it's more than money being lost - it's important care that's being lost too.,
That's because democrats fall into one or more of the following categories:
* Lying thieves
* America-hating "progressives"
* Ignorant morons
Many fall into all three categories.
Have my eye on a 57’ Carver Voyager Pilothouse……
