She Spends Her Time Traveling the World on Luxury Vacations—What’s Her Secret

… policies allow them to be farmed for pure gold: up to 24 hours a day of home care, in the form of a $175k check to the relative, friend or company of their choosing.

¬ seems greedy enough. But it's worse. The money goes to their friend who doesn't actually even do the work.

Chhetri resigned from his job after I showed him my video of his pit-stops in Dilu's driveway. He said he was paid to take care of Dilu's aunt and worked for Gaunley Home Care. The company is owned by fellow Bhutanese Biras Adhikari, and is paid $150k a month for 26 clients.

Congress required states to implement Electronic Visit Verification (rudimentary GPS) to stop fraud in the multi-billion dollar program. I obtained Chhetri's EVV records from Gaunley, and they showed how utterly out of control the program is.

The records showed that Chhetri was clocking into a second client's house–seemingly billing for two 77-hour-a-week jobs ($160k), while actually doing neither. The second client is a 45-year old Bhutanese woman who lived across town. And the GPS records, the government's only tool to spot fraud, said he was clocking in from her house–even though I know for a fact that he was nowhere near it, because I had eyes on him at that very moment. Obviously, these reports mean nothing.

The owner of Gauley told me Congress should ban Medicaid patients from using family members and friends as aides, because it's too easy for them to collude to hide no-show jobs.
