42 Illicit Hospices in Four Blocks: California’s $3.5 Billion Swindle Exposed
In a single four-block stretch of Van Nuys, Los Angeles, CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz identified 42 fraudulent hospices—proof positive that organized crime has seized our Medicare system. This is not an isolated glitch. It’s a full-blown racketeering operation bleeding taxpayers dry.
Dr. Oz personally toured the neighborhood, pointing at clinic after clinic plastered with English and Armenian signage. He didn’t mince words: either tens of thousands are dying here overnight, or criminals are gaming the system on an industrial scale. The evidence is overwhelming.
This network, Oz warns, is run by Russian and Armenian mobsters in collusion with rogue medical professionals. They’ve stolen 100,000 beneficiary numbers and enrolled unsuspecting seniors into sham hospice programs. The result: $3.5 billion in fraudulent claims funneled into offshore accounts and luxury lifestyles.
California’s liberal leadership immediately went into damage-control mode. Governor Gavin Newsom dismissed Oz as a “fraud cosplay” artist, even accusing him of racial profiling. Newsom’s office is now investigating the CMS chief—for calling out obvious corruption. It’s a ludicrous counterattack designed to silence scrutiny.
Facts don’t lie. In 2022 Newsom banned all new hospice licenses and revoked over 280 existing permits in a half-hearted attempt to curb abuse. Yet hospice fraud has exploded since. His timid measures failed to stop criminal enterprises from infiltrating communities and victimizing seniors.
Now, with the federal government bearing down, Newsom’s playbook is distraction. He’s weaponizing hate-crime laws to derail an honest probe. It’s a desperate tactic from a governor more interested in protecting his political narrative than safeguarding taxpayers.
Dr. Oz isn’t backing down. He has mobilized the Department of Justice, Medicare fraud strike forces and state investigators to pursue every lead. Prosecutors are gearing up for sweeping indictments. No allowance for political interference. No tolerance for dodge-and-delay tactics.
Republicans and independents alike must rally behind this crackdown. We demand zero tolerance for healthcare racketeering. We insist on accountability for every corrupt operator exploiting our seniors. The federal government will not rest until every dollar stolen is returned and every criminal is behind bars.
California’s healthcare scammers have met their match. This administration will root out fraud, recover lost funds and restore integrity to our Medicare system. The era of billion-dollar hospice heists ends now.
