January 1, Federal Probe Uncovers Billions in Hospice Fraud Amid LA Shutdowns

Wyatt’s Take

• Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Congress that hospice fraud in Los Angeles might cost taxpayers $5 billion.
• The Trump administration already shut down 500 of these fake hospice operations in California.
• Federal investigators say scammers used fake addresses and fake patients to steal government money.

Representative Beth Van Duyne noted that over 100 hospice licenses were registered to a single address in Van Nuys.

Kennedy said many of these businesses were just invented locations used to steal federal money.

“It would obtain patient identification or they would pay people, they were going and giving people in poor neighborhoods flat screen televisions, $600 and then they would enlist them and enroll them in the hospice and we were paying them $6000, and the interesting thing is almost none of them ever died.”

Kennedy mentioned that certain foreign communities in Los Angeles were behind the massive theft.

While most people in those communities are honest, the bad actors walked away with hundreds of millions.

Reports show similar welfare and Medicaid scams have been uncovered in Minnesota, Maine, and Ohio.

In some states, billions of dollars have been drained by migrant groups running fraudulent day-care and health clinics.

“Typically, the stay in a hospice is about 18 days, these people stayed forever. Nothing ever happened because they weren’t actually there, they were just invented.”

The federal anti-fraud task force led by Vice President J.D. Vance has already started cutting off funding to suspicious centers.

They are targeting benefit programs that have been easy marks for criminals for years.
