Investigative journalist Nick Shirley has released a new video revealing significant fraud in California, focusing on the state's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal. His findings suggest that the fraud could amount to hundreds of billions of dollars.
• Nick Shirley's investigation uncovered over $170 million in fraudulent activities in California, which he claims is just the beginning.
• Medi-Cal's budget has dramatically increased from $108 billion in 2022 to a proposed $222 billion in 2026, despite the state's population not growing equally.
• There has been an alarming 1,000 percent increase in hospice care claims in Los Angeles County.
• Shirley visited various facilities, including purported hospices and daycares, and encountered suspicious circumstances, such as a daycare with no children present. This led to confrontations, including a call to the police by a daycare operator when questioned.
• Earlier, Shirley investigated fraud in Minnesota, exposing over $110 million in fraudulent activity involving Somali-owned businesses, including empty daycare centers.
• In a subsequent video, he highlighted an additional $16 million in welfare fraud in Minnesota, indicating ongoing issues with the state's welfare programs.
Nick Shirley's findings raise serious concerns about potential widespread fraud in California and previously in Minnesota related to welfare programs. His investigations continue to draw attention to significant financial mismanagement and the need for greater accountability in these systems. The exposure of these issues is critical in stopping the cycle of fraud.
