In March, investigative journalist Nick Shirley released video on uncovering $170 million in fraud in California.
“We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences,” Nick Shirley said.
“California’s version of Medicaid called ‘Medi-Cal’ has more than doubled since 2022 from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion in 2026. Their population, however, has not grown exponentially. However, their spending has,” Nick Shirley said.
“There has been a 1,000 percent increase in hospice care in Los Angeles County,” Nick Shirley said. It’s estimated that the fraud in California could be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.”
Nick Shirley visited ‘hospices’ in Los Angeles and ‘daycares’ in San Diego.
In early April, California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) announced his office had charged 21 suspects in a $267 million hospice fraud ring in Southern California.
A Trump administration Fraud Task Force also conducts raids against healthcare fraudsters across the southern part of the state. Eight people were arrested and charged with over $50 MILLION in fraud.
