We’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of fraud in our health care system. Next up: Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida. What I saw on the ground in Florida around durable medical equipment fraud was horrifying. The scale is out of control – and not just limited to these schemes. Cleaning this up will require a laser focus and real action from state leaders. The reality is that fraud in our government health programs is widespread, sophisticated, and deeply entrenched. Consider just a few recent cases: June 2025: The CEO of a healthcare software company was convicted of orchestrating a nationwide scheme that generated fraudulent physician orders and resulted in more than $1 billion in false Medicare claims. January 2026: Two health care executives were convicted for running a $34 million Medicare Advantage fraud scheme, using deceptive telemarketing tactics to pressure elderly beneficiaries into accepting medical equipment they didn’t need. January 2026: A laboratory owner admitted guilt in a $52 million Medicare fraud operation involving medically unnecessary genetic testing ordered through illegal kickbacks. January 2026: Two individuals were arrested in Central Florida for a Medicaid fraud scheme that billed the program for thousands of non-emergency medical transportation trips that never occurred, stealing more than $65,000 from taxpayers. And these are just the cases that have already been uncovered. Behind every fraudulent claim is money taken from taxpayers, resources diverted from patients who truly need care, and vulnerable seniors and low-income Americans being exploited for profit. Florida has been a hotspot for health care fraud for years. Taxpayers and vulnerable patients deserve better—and it’s time for state leadership to step up and work with us to stop it. We’re exposing the abuse, pursuing the fraudsters, and cleaning up these programs.





Not gonna happen I’m on a mission to fix healthcare. And I will

@GovPressOffice You do realize I’m trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste right? No need to try and make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud. People are over it. Start working for the people and not against them.










CALIFORNIA HOSPICE FRAUD: There's a stretch in Los Angeles with 500 registered hospice companies within just three miles of each other. And 89 in a single building. But when we visited, we found empty offices, piled-up mail, and phone lines dead. Watch CBS News' exclusive investigation into the fraud that's costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. #losangeles #la
