The Trump Administration’s fraud task force, led by Vice President JD Vance, revealed on Thursday that it has identified and suspended 221 fraudulent hospice and healthcare providers.
According to Fox News, the massive progress comes after just 70 providers were initially suspended last week.
But it’s not stopping there.
“We expect this number to grow much, much higher in the coming weeks,” a senior Administration official said.“The Administration’s War on Fraud once again yields results as more suspensions take place and fraudsters face justice for ripping off hard-working Americans and stealing their tax dollars and social services,” a spokesperson for Vance said. “The Vice President and his task force are proud of these latest figures and expect to see this number continue to grow dramatically.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, federal authorities raided several healthcare providers in Southern California on Thursday for defrauding Medicare.
FBI Los Angeles posted footage of agents arresting the fraudsters, writing, “Early this morning, the FBI and partners arrested 8 of 15 defendants charged in connection with 9 separate health care fraud investigations focusing on hospice fraud and other schemes. The arrests were made in and around Los Angeles County, as well as in Court d’Alene, Idaho. Some of the defendants are health care professionals, including nurses, a psychologist and a chiropractor. Losses to taxpayers exceed $50 million.”
