Taxpayers in Ohio have lost an estimated $1.2 billion due to foreign fraudsters, according to testimony from a House Oversight Committee task force on Wednesday. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, called the hearing after Luke Rosiak of the Daily Wire released a series of articles alleging billions of dollars in Medicaid home care fraud in Ohio.
Gill, the chairman of the task force, explained how fraudsters in Ohio operate with little government oversight. According to Gill, they will find an elderly person, often a relative, and get a note from a doctor that says they qualify for in-home health services.
