“We will not stop until every hard-earned taxpayer dollar goes toward the honest Americans who deserve them,” a spokesperson for VP Vance said.
The White House anti-fraud task force has suspended 447 hospices and 23 home health agencies in Los Angeles, California. The estimated total fraud amount exceeds $600 million, according to the task force led by Vice President JD Vance.
Since the beginning of April, the anti-fraud task force has increased its suspensions by roughly 539 percent, according to Fox News, as the vice president honors his commitment to root out individuals stealing taxpayer funds from hardworking American citizens.
"Where there is fraud, the task force will find it. We will not stop until every hard-earned taxpayer dollar goes toward the honest Americans who deserve them," a spokesperson for VP Vance told The Post Millennial in a statement.
In recent weeks, California has come under intense scrutiny as a number of independent and traditional media journalists started looking into possible Medicaid fraud after YouTuber Nick Shirley revealed shocking information in Minneapolis regarding Somali fraudsters.
As a result, Democratic state legislators have introduced a bill that would impose substantial penalties and potential criminal charges for disclosing information about fraud, with a particular emphasis on migrant service workers. Critics of the proposal have dubbed the legislation the "Stop Nick Shirely Act."
Despite the state's purported effort to conceal fraud, the White House stated that it is going full throttle on the matter. "To all fraudsters: good luck trying to hide from the Vice President's task force. They are reviewing and pursuing every possible lead. These suspension numbers, and the dollar values saved, are only going to increase," a White House official told TPM.
The Democrat bill, AB 2624, was introduced by California Attorney General Rob Bonta's wife, Democratic assemblywoman Mia Bonta. It states that it intends to "protect the privacy for immigration support services and providers." Individuals who work with migrants would be able to keep addresses concealed for public record under the legislation. The bill has passed a California Assembly committee with an 11-2 vote.
