In recent weeks, a political firestorm erupted between California Governor Gavin Newsom and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The conflict began after Dr. Oz publicly highlighted widespread hospice fraud in Los Angeles County, pointing to clusters of suspicious hospice providers and describing what federal investigators believe may be a massive scheme exploiting the Medicare hospice benefit. His remarks quickly drew national attention to a problem that investigators say has been growing for years.

Governor Newsom responded forcefully. His administration launched a civil rights investigation into Dr. Oz’s comments, accusing him of making “baseless and racially charged allegations” that could discourage members of the Armenian community from participating in hospice and home-care programs. Newsom’s office also argued that the comments had already caused real-world harm, pointing to reports that an Armenian bakery featured in the video saw a drop in business after the remarks circulated.[1]


Newsome is the best that Democrats have to offer? Wow....This man was warned by his own CA auditor that Hospice fraud in CA was rampant, and likely to get worse, and what did Newscum do? Throw out some bullshit commission to investigate it, and not allow any new licensing of facilities...Well Whoop te doooo! That's basically nothing. It didn't address those continuing to fleece the system to the tune of $6,000 per week, per individual (that doesn't exist)....Billions!

And you dems want this man to run the country? Holy shit.
