About LA Hospice Fraud and the Everglades

About this episode

The episode discusses hospice care fraud in LA County and a proposed housing bill near the Everglades in Florida.

The gang breaks down a sweeping investigation into hospice care in LA County, where hundreds of providers show warning signs of fraud. With some providers billing Medicare despite reporting zero patients and average billing far above the national average, they debate whether this is a systemic failure or a contained abuse of the system. Then they turn to Florida, where lawmakers are advancing a bill that could open land near the Everglades to housing construction. A good way to ease housing shortages, or a risk for floods and poor drinking water?
