Governor Kathy Hochul awarded a $9 billion contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), an out-of-state company, giving them control over medical services previously provided by 700 local businesses through the CDPAP Medicaid program. A lawsuit alleges the NY Department of Health preselected PPL before a sham bidding process. Multiple sources informed reporters and the Center for Disability Rights of PPL's preselection before bidding. The 1199 SEIU Health Care Workers Union announced PPL's contract win two months before submissions were due. Public Consulting Group (PCG), which advises Hochul on medical policy, owns over 25% of PPL, creating a conflict of interest. Hochul also allegedly received a $5,000 contribution in 2023 from PPL's VP of Government Relations. The DOH reportedly manipulated contract scoring and subcontractor qualifications, leading to PPL's higher score. Representative Richie Torres is calling for a full investigation, believing there is "something rotten in the state of New York" under Hochul's management.

New York City Mayor Adams is facing criticism for a program that provides prepaid debit cards to illegal migrants, with a contract worth $53 million. The cards can hold up to $10,000 and will be refilled every four weeks. The program aims to save money and prevent food waste, but concerns have been raised about the lack of fraud control and restrictions. Critics argue that the program is a form of taxation without representation and that other providers could have offered the same services at a lower cost. The mayor denies any personal relationship with the company involved. The program has sparked controversy and speculation about potential corruption and money laundering.

Governor Kathy Hochul awarded a $9 billion contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), an out-of-state company, to monopolize a home care Medicaid program (CDPAP), impacting 700 local businesses and numerous New Yorkers. A lawsuit alleges the NY Department of Health preselected PPL before a sham bidding process, evidenced by prior knowledge from multiple sources and the SEIU Health Care Workers Union. Public Consulting Group (PCG), which advises Governor Hochul on medical policy, owns over 25% of PPL, creating a conflict of interest. Additionally, Hochul received a $5,000 contribution from PPL's VP of Government Relations in 2023. The Department of Health reportedly manipulated contract scoring to favor PPL. Representative Richie Torres is calling for a full investigation, suspecting corruption under Hochul's management.

Charges have been filed against the state of New York, Kathy Hochul, Leticia James, and Mark Schroeder of the DMV. This action is being taken by a new DOJ to protect American citizens and angel moms. New York is accused of prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens.

The speaker claims corruption in the Democrat party is at an all time high. New York Governor Kathy Hochul spent $178,000 in taxpayer funds on private jet travel after signing legislation for fossil fuel companies to pay $75 billion for carbon emissions. The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James paid $483,000 to the law firm Davis Polk starting in April of last year, four months after Kathy Hochul's husband was hired by the company. James is under investigation from the DOJ for falsifying documents and claiming she legally lives at a property in Virginia for a better mortgage. Hochul then passed a new budget that includes $10 million in legal funds for James, paid for by New York taxpayers. Forensic accountant Sam Antar says a contract between the attorney general's office and Davis Polk was dormant until Hochul's husband joined the firm, after which money started flowing. After James got into trouble, she received $10 million from the state for a criminal defense. Antar believes there is something very corrupt happening and is expanding the scope of his investigation into Hochul's dealings with James.

There's a serious problem in New York with Governor Hochul's plan to overhaul the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), which helps chronically ill and disabled individuals hire caregivers, often family members. Hochul wants to consolidate the $9 billion initiative under a single financial intermediary, Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), a Georgia-based company with no New York healthcare experience. PPL was allegedly chosen before the bidding process even began, despite numerous failed contracts and financial issues in other states like Pennsylvania, where it cost the state millions. This move could benefit union leader George Grisham by further unionizing home caregivers. It also threatens to shut down 600 companies and impact half a million New Yorkers. Even Democrats like Congressman Richie Torres are questioning this deal, especially given PPL's track record of failure.

Governor Kathy Hochul awarded a $45 billion medical care contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), potentially jeopardizing New York's home care Medicaid program (CDPAP) and nearly 700 businesses. The eleven ninety nine SEIU union allegedly knew of PPL's acquisition before public bidding, suggesting the contract was rigged. The union allegedly made a deal with PPL to unionize workers, potentially generating an additional $1 billion annually for the union. Helen Schwab of eleven ninety nine SEIU admitted to the deal. The union is also holding internal elections to build a coalition against President Trump, which would be funded by the federal government if the deal proceeds. Republicans and Democrats, including NY State Rep Richie Torres, are calling for an investigation into the apparent fraud. One individual is calling upon the Medicaid inspector general to conduct an independent investigation into the Hochul administration's handling of a contract for a $9 billion home care program. The deal is set to take effect on March 28.

I recently awarded a $9 billion contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), an out-of-state company, giving them control over medical services previously provided by 700 local businesses through the CDPAP Medicaid program. A lawsuit has been filed against the NYS Department of Health and PPL, alleging PPL was preselected before the bidding process. Evidence includes reports of PPL's preselection prior to bidding and an announcement by the SEIU Health Care Workers Union two months before submissions were due. Public Consulting Group, which advises me on medical policy, owns over 25% of PPL, creating a conflict of interest. I also received a $5,000 contribution from PPL's Vice President of Government Relations in 2023. The Department of Health manipulated contract scoring, leading to PPL scoring higher. Representative Richie Torres is calling for a full investigation into this scandal. New Yorkers deserve answers.

Jacob Wilkinson, former counsel for governors Cuomo and Hochul, stated that Cuomo was forced to sign a poorly written nursing home bill, which the health department can't implement, due to his diminished political power. The bill requires nursing homes to spend 70% of their revenue on direct resident care, with 40% dedicated to resident-facing care. Wilkinson also claimed some sexual misconduct allegations against Cuomo were "100% fake," noting women who accused him had previously taken selfies with him while sitting on his lap. Wilkinson agreed with the idea that Cuomo was blackmailed. Nursing homes updated air filtration and improved isolation methods due to COVID.

The speaker expresses shock and disbelief over a recent decision in New York, stating it makes the state unattractive for investment. They highlight the importance of winner states with favorable policies. The conversation shifts to Governor Hochul's comments on the issue, questioning the lack of a clear victim and the legal basis for the decision. The focus is on New York's reputation and the impact on potential investments. The discussion concludes with a call for New York to address its status as a "loser state" and attract businesses.

We just received a statement from DHS: four employees are being fired for the unauthorized $59 million FEMA payment for NYC migrant hotels. This was long overdue; billions of taxpayer dollars have been misspent on housing, food, and healthcare for illegal immigrants in New York City. This incentivizes sanctuary cities and states to continue this practice, circumventing federal law. New York's leadership is inept and corrupt; Mayor Adams and Governor Hochul have enabled this, despite the strain on resources and the migrant crisis. We must stop the influx at the border and stop incentivizing this behavior. Furthermore, New York's top court is considering allowing non-citizen voting, which would add 800,000 voters. This is unacceptable and should not be a discussion. New York Republicans fought this previously but are concerned about the court's potential bias.

The transcript presents a long-form exposé-style investigation into what the speakers describe as widespread fraud in California’s caregiving sectors, focusing on hospice, home health care, and daycares, with emphasis on Los Angeles and Van Nuys. - Opening claim and context: - Speaker 0 asks why there is a thousand percent increase in hospice care in Los Angeles and whether paperwork exists to enroll a child named Joey. They claim California has the largest fraud risk, with Medi-Cal spending rising from 2022 to 2026 (from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion) while population growth hasn’t matched spending growth. They allege “one out of every $10 of home health care in America is spent in Los Angeles.” They argue government-funded daycare programs are “filled with violations,” and that fraud could be “hundreds of billions of dollars.” - Daycare fraud focus: - The video claims daycares are used to receive government money (CalWORKS) by enrolling children on paper while not having real enrollments. They show various locations and describe conditions as suspicious or unsafe (graffiti, boarded-up buildings, dumpsters, a homeless person near a daycare). - Medina Learning Center is described as “now enrolling,” with “as their backup facility, the UMI Learning Center,” which was “convicted in federal court in 2024 of having a 150 ghost kids.” They seek paperwork to enroll a child named Joey. - Hayden Sarah Family Child Care is described as having “14 children enrolled” per state records but “zero present” when inspectors arrived; the facility roster and missing children records are cited as violations. - Jama Shukri Family Childcare is described as a daycare located in an apartment building (one-bedroom, eight capacity) with two children outside and no adult visible, raising concerns about supervision. - The video notes California allocates $6 billion to childcare, “over 39,000 facilities,” with a state audit error rate of 1.6%, and conservative estimates suggest “upwards of a $100,000,000 in fraud lost each and every single year.” - A recurring theme is “shell registrations” and unregistered CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) entities; seven of the four entities shown have “zero SMS data,” implying shell companies or fraud networks possibly connected to Armenian/Russian gangs. - Hospice and home health care fraud focus: - The group shifts to Van Nuys, California, claiming “home health care and hospice fraud” is pervasive there; they assert “one out of every $10 that goes towards home health care in the United States goes to a business here in LA.” They visit numerous hospice centers in a single plaza, naming Gardens of Angels Hospice and Blossom Hospice as examples of high billing with few services performed (e.g., Gardens of Angels: “billed $4,800,000 per beneficiary,” “$5,807 per claim,” 28.6 claims per patient, only two codes). Blossom Hospice is described as “$3,400,000” billed with “$927 per claim,” again with only one code and minimal services. - They claim “seven of the four entities have zero SMS data” and label some facilities as shell registrations; some locations appear “registering for hospice but not actually providing care,” with claims of “shell buildings” or storefronts that are empty or only used for billing. - The video notes the presence of luxury cars at these sites (Mercedes, Teslas, BMWs, a Cybertruck) and references a pattern of wealthy vehicles associated with hospice sites, suggesting profits from taxpayers’ dollars. - Miracle Healing Hospice is described as having billed $1,300,000 in 2023 with 38 beneficiaries: “$32,000 per beneficiary,” but the location was reported as an empty building when visited. - The presenters also describe finding a location that “received $19,000,000” over the past years for Healthy Life Adult Daycare, yet the building appears dilapidated and shows no adults present during visits. Phone lines and mailboxes are reported as failing to provide information or contacts. - Interviews and expert commentary: - A professional in the medical industry is interviewed to explain how fraud could occur: someone could obtain a Medicare number and use it to bill Medicare for hospice services; fraudsters reportedly can open a hospice license without being a physician, then bill the system and receive payments quickly. - The interview suggests Medicare numbers can be stolen or purchased; the speaker emphasizes that “anybody can get a hospice license,” and that the process enables easy billings to Medicare/Medicaid. - A participant describes a trend of these facilities opening and billing, with the implication that people exploit the system for swift returns. - Overall framing and conclusions presented: - The speakers argue that there is a thousand percent increase in hospice openings in California, a surge in fraudulent activity across daycares and hospice/hom e health facilities, and that tax dollars are funding these entities with little-to-no accountability. They juxtapose luxury cars and upscale appearances with empty or non-operational facilities to illustrate alleged misappropriation of funds. They advocate scrutiny, data-backed investigation, and accountability for what they describe as widespread fraud affecting taxpayers and vulnerable populations. - Closing sentiments: - The narrative closes with a call to action against fraud, emphasizing the impact on ordinary Americans who face rising costs and debt, and claiming that exposing fraud is essential to protecting taxpayer dollars and national financial health.

We may be witnessing one of the biggest Medicaid fraud schemes in U.S. history. New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently awarded a $45 billion medical care contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL). 50% of this contract is funded by the federal government. This contract will destroy nearly 700 businesses and jeopardize the home care Medicaid program. The eleven ninety nine SEIU union announced that PPL would be acquiring the contract before public bidding even started, providing clear evidence that PPL's acquisition of this government contract was rigged. The union knew because they made a deal with PPL to unionize all workers, resulting in the union taking in an additional $1 billion per year. Republicans and Democrats have called for investigation into this apparent fraud scheme. I am calling upon the Medicaid inspector general to conduct an independent investigation. Kathy Hochul, eleven ninety nine SEIU, and PPL are hoping to hold out until March 28 when the deal goes into effect. This fraud scheme must be investigated right now.

Governor Hochul is facing criticism over a plan to consolidate New York's $9 billion Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) into a single financial intermediary, Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), a Georgia-based company. PPL was allegedly chosen before the bidding process began, with New York only reviewing 4 out of 136 bids. PPL has a history of failed contracts in other states like New Jersey, Washington, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania, where it cost the state $7 million and left caregivers unpaid. The move is suspected to benefit George Grisham's union, 1199 SEIU, by enabling further unionization of 280,000 home caregivers. The change could shut down 600 companies in New York and impact half a million New Yorkers. The New York legislature and Congressman Richie Torres are questioning the deal, alleging a lack of transparency and expressing concerns that it will increase costs and burden families.

Two scammers pled guilty to a $68,000,000 fraud scheme tied to the state's Medicaid home care program. The crooks billed for millions in services that they never provided, in a case linked to the CDPAP program, which allows people who need care to hire their own caregiver through Medicaid, choosing a friend or relative as long as they go through the process. News Nation reports that two New Yorkers pled guilty to a involving large-scale recruiters who bribed patients with laundered cash and billed Medicaid over $68,000,000 for services that were not provided. This follows a separate million-dollar-plus conviction announced by New York Attorney General Letitia James this week, still tied to fake billing and kickback schemes within the state's Medicaid program. CDPAP, the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, is described as meant to make care easier for loved ones at home rather than in nursing homes, but is targeted by sophisticated scammers. Attorney John Flynn explains that while CDPAP is for people who need care, it’s become a target for scammers; the program’s intent is good, but bad people are taking advantage of federal and state money. The article notes that fraud in the CDPAP program is not new. In 2018, a man arranged for friends and family members to be paid as home caregivers for his sick mom, only to discover his mom was living in Bangladesh; during home inspections, his brother impersonated her to keep the fraud going. In 2024, Governor Kathy Hochul called CDPAP a “racket” and described it as one of the most abused programs in New York’s history. News Nation asked the governor’s office for comment on the recent fraud charges; a spokesperson said she has taken steps to fix the system by cutting out hundreds of middlemen. The governor’s office also cited Letitia James’s transportation company bust as an example of efforts to stop this kind of crime. The report notes that when Republicans asked for an audit of the CDPAP program in New York, supporters called it a political stunt, arguing that measures are already in place. Amid ongoing fraud, the narrative references a broader effort, including President Donald Trump announcing a new division to combat crimes like this. Natasha and Lea Lando are reporting on this developing story from New York. Lea Lando is live in Manhattan with the latest.

The Massachusetts GOP is criticizing Governor Maura Healy regarding a report indicating a shift in shelter costs to the state's home-based program, which offers rental assistance to migrant families. The report projects Massachusetts will spend $97 million on the home-based program this fiscal year, a significant increase from the $9.5 million spent on housing at-risk families. Massachusetts Republican Party Chair Amy Carnevale stated that the data contradicts Healy's claims of improving the system.

Centene, a Medicaid provider, overbilled states and agreed to Florida for $67,000,000—$57,000,000 to Medicaid and $10,000,000 to Hope Florida, Casey DeSantis' charity. Emails show Centene paid 'DeSantis' wife's charity' 'with a gun to their head' because 'the governor... was demanding it.' The Florida inspector general wanted no part of this 'sleazy transaction' and was removed from the settlement; a September message asked why. The provider said they 'would bear no responsibility for making the payment governor DeSantis directed them to make to Hope Florida.' John Gard wrote this would have to look 'slightly different' negotiating with ACA, 'the agency run by DeSantis.' The money funded political ads 'to defeat a voter ballot initiative,' routed through AG James Uthmeyer's committee. DeSantis claimed funds would help people gain education and independence via HOPE Florida, but the money never went there. 'Even people we like shouldn't be able to do that.'

There are serious issues in New York with Governor Hochul's plan to change the healthcare system. The Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), which allows chronically ill or disabled individuals to hire caregivers, is at risk. Hochul wants to consolidate this $9 billion initiative into one financial program with Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), a Georgia-based company with no New York healthcare experience. PPL has a history of failed contracts in other states, costing them millions. There are concerns about political favors, particularly with George Grisham's union potentially gaining influence, leading to the unionization of 280,000 caregivers and the shutdown of 600 companies. This deal, already failing in other states, risks costing New York more, burdening families, and harming the economy. Even Democrats are questioning this decision.

PPL was selected before the bidding process even began, despite numerous failed contracts and financial setbacks in other states like Pennsylvania. This move appears to benefit union interests, specifically George Grisham and 1199 SEIU, who have donated to Democratic campaigns and stand to gain from unionizing 280,000 caregivers. The change threatens to shut down 600 existing New York companies, risks higher costs, and could force families into debt. Even Democrats like Congressman Richie Torres are questioning this decision, highlighting the widespread concerns over the implementation of PPL in New York.

Again are caught up in a $5,000,000,000 fraud scheme that was siphoning taxpayer dollars. The scheme was uncovered by house Republicans. The accusations which have sparked outrage center on the discovery of more than 4,000 fake phantom jobs allegedly used to siphon taxpayer dollars into nonexistent programs, questionable gender surgeries for prisoners, and dubious arts and culture grants. House GOP investigators claim to have identified the thousands of fake job positions created to justify budget allocations that never materialized into actual employment. Critics argue this was a deliberate tactic to funnel public money back to Democrats, bypassing accountability and oversight. This as multiple claims come in over fiscal mismanagement under Democrat control led by governor Gretchen Whitmer with the Michigan state budget ballooning to more than $82,000,000,000.

The Biden administration reportedly paid POLITICO $26 million over four years, including $8 million last year. The government claims this was for subscriptions to Politico Pro, which offers exclusive reporting about the federal government. Subscriptions cost between $10,000 to $75,000 a year. Politico Pro is allegedly not for government employees but for lobbyists seeking contact information for regulators. The speaker questions why government officials would need to pay for inside information about their own departments. The speaker claims the payments were a bailout and a payoff.

A massive investigation has uncovered that California may have committed major fraud against the US government by exploiting a complicated loophole that allowed them to steal billions in federal taxpayer funds. The findings emerged during a review of California's medical financial records, revealing that under Gavin Newsom's leadership, the state has essentially been funneling taxpayer money from across America to prop up California's finances. The investigation describes an ingenious plan that started in 2022 and centers on the concept of intergovernmental transfers. In simple terms, intergovernmental transfers occur when a local hospital or county makes a transfer to the state's Medicaid agency for payments of medical services such as ambulance rides. After these transfers are made, the state can then request a matching amount of money from the federal government. However, Newsom's California is said to have abused this system by raising the price of a simple ambulance ride by nearly 300%. According to the report, once local hospitals transferred funds to the state and the state received the federal matching funds, they then paid a private ambulance service, which cost only a fraction of the original price, pocketing the difference. The narrative emphasizes that, according to the investigators, this sequence allowed a large gap to be exploited, enabling the state to divert funds that originated as federal dollars. The summary asserts that this scheme, if accurate, involved transforming ordinary intergovernmental transfer mechanics into a vehicle for disproportionately inflating payments for ambulance services and then routing the excess to private providers, rather than to the intended public accounts. It notes that the transfers and the subsequent federal matches occurred within the framework of existing programs, but the practice allegedly subverted the intended use of those funds. Crucially, the report concludes that the entire procedure is lawful within current rules, and it asserts that the government must find a way to close this loophole. The overarching claim is that, by manipulating the pricing of ambulance services and channeling payments through a private ambulance provider, California essentially diverted federal resources through a system that was not designed to support such a practice. The investigation thus frames the situation as a significant example of how intergovernmental transfers can be leveraged in ways that impact federal funds, highlighting the need for reform to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Two New Yorkers have pled guilty to a $68,000,000 fraud scheme tied to the state’s Medicaid home-care program, CDPAP. The two defendants were described as large-scale recruiters who bribed patients with laundered cash and billed Medicaid for services at Brooklyn-based adult daycares that never occurred. The case is part of a broader pattern of fraud targeting CDPAP, which is designed to help people who need care at home rather than in nursing homes by allowing them to hire their own caregiver through Medicaid, including friends or relatives chosen by the patient through the program’s process. News Nation reports that the guilty plea comes as another million-dollar-plus conviction was announced this week, involving fake billing and kickback schemes tied to Medicaid. Attorney John Flynn notes that while CDPAP is intended to ease care for loved ones, it has become a target for sophisticated scammers. The segment places these cases in a historical context of CDPAP-related fraud in New York. In 2018, a man organized payments to friends and family members as home caregivers for his ailing mother, only to discover she wasn’t in the country—living in Bangladesh—and investigators found that his brother impersonated her during home inspections to sustain the fraud. In 2024, Governor Kathy Hochul characterized CDPAP as a “racket” and one of the most abused programs in New York State’s history. News Nation reports that the governor’s office said she has “taken steps to fix the system by cutting out hundreds of middlemen.” The governor’s office also pointed to Letitia James’s actions against related scams as part of ongoing efforts to stop this kind of crime. The governor’s spokesperson cited actions such as busting related transportation-company schemes as examples of reform, while Republicans requested an audit of the CDPAP program, a request described by supporters as a political stunt, with proponents arguing that there are already measures in place. News Nation notes that President Donald Trump recently announced a new division to combat crimes like these, underscoring a broader national focus on Medicaid and CDPAP-related fraud. The segment closes with Lea Lando in New York tracking the evolving investigations and prosecutions tied to these programs.
