Fox News says documents show Gavin Newsom was warned about prolific hospice fraud years ago, and ignored it.

“We have unearthed an explosive report.”

“The 2022 document that I am holding is an 87-page report from the then-acting state auditor in California addressed directly to the governor of California, warning in no uncertain terms that the state's weak oversight of hospice agencies has created opportunities for large-scale abuse and fraud.”

“The aged population increased 40% in California, between 2010 and 2021, while the hospice agencies increased an astonishing 1,589%.”

“210 active hospice agencies located within 1 mile of each other on Van Nuys in Los Angeles County.”

“Networks of individual perpetrators in Los Angeles County are engaging in a large and organized effort to defraud the Medicare hospice programs.”
