Independent journalist Nick Shirley has helped expose massive fraud in Minnesota, and now he’s set his sights on California, where the fraud is far worse.
Governor Gavin Newsom attacked him for his work, of course, because Newsom has aided and abetted the fraud. But Shirley isn’t alone. Dr. Oz, CBS, and Fox News have all shone a spotlight on the fraud, too. It’s likely to make Minnesota’s fraud look like pocket change.
Shirley also explained how the fraud works, and how the scammers are getting away with millions.
Shirley points out that one hospice, All Day Hospice Care, has billed for $3.1 million, or about $6,000 per patient, since 2023. It rented a small suite inside of an unmarked office building, where they close up shop when questions about their business arise.
Newsom was warned in 2022 about the fraud.
He ignored it. Or, more accurately, he paused hospice licensing, but didn’t address the 1,500 percent increase in agencies.
