"The governor says he's stopping licensure, he already licensed this doctor, who defrauded us $270 million. This governor and the politicians that have had power here have done nothing about. They've ignored it. And they continue to throw good money after bad. We're here to say enough is enough."
"Fraud has been reported to exist in major state programs, including Medi-Cal, in-home supportive services, unemployment insurance, and infrastructure projects."
"We are major focused on this issue, and I think our suspicion, our belief, is that the fraud in California will magnify whatever's happening in Minnesota. What's happening in Minnesota pales in comparison to the level of fraud that we believe is occurring in California."
California Republicans are demanding a focused legislative response to address widespread fraud in state programs, including Medi-Cal and unemployment insurance. Assemblymember James Gallagher criticized Governor Newsom for previously licensing a doctor involved in a $270 million fraud case. The state is under investigation for rampant hospice fraud costing taxpayers over $100 million. U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli believes California's fraud levels are significantly higher than those in Minnesota. Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta are facing scrutiny for their handling of these fraud allegations.
