Morning Coffee: I do love how this administration is cleaning up the fraud and waste... finding trillions of dollars across the board that ultimately comes back to the American people
New
revelations show thousands of people used foreign email domains from
countries like China, Canada, and Mexico to sign up for SNAP food stamp
benefits in the United States.
Over 5,000 such emails were
identified, with states allowing enrollment through “broad based
categorical eligibility” that required little to no identification
verification.
The program grew by 40% during the Biden years.
Secretary Rollins described the issue as widespread abuse, noting that
some appear to be using government assistance to create more voters.
He emphasized that reforms are underway to clean up the system and ensure benefits go to those who truly need them.
“Hospices in Los Angeles… we’ve shut down 500 of them. We have not gotten one call… because those hospices did not exist.”
RFK Jr. explained how the scam worked: “They were signing up patients… charging us $6,000 a month for that patient.”
The fraud was so obvious that investigators noticed “the patients never died.”
The
lack of any complaints from the operators is being seen as strong
evidence that the vast majority of these facilities were fraudulent
shells designed to bilk taxpayers.
This is part of a broader effort to root out waste and abuse in federal healthcare programs.
