Vance-led anti-fraud panel shutters 447 hospices in LA: Report

Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud task force has shut down nearly 500 hospices and home health agencies in Los Angeles alone, Fox News reported.The figure includes 447 hospices and 23 home health agencies. Collectively, the facilities accounted for roughly $600 million in public funds fraud.
President Donald Trump officially named Vance his “fraud czar” earlier this month, following a series of raids in LA that saw federal authorities target many hospices in the area.
“Where there is fraud, the task force will find it,” a Vance spokesperson told the outlet. “We will not stop until every hard-earned taxpayer dollar goes toward the honest Americans who deserve them.”
That string of operations followed Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director Dr. Mehmet Oz in January posting videos highlighting the fraudulent hospice problem, linking the issue to the Armenian mafia in the area.
