California's government is the most corrupt state in the union by far Reply to @unusual_whales: Federal prosecutors have charged 15 people in Los Angeles in medical fraud schemes accused of stealing $2 billion from government and private health programs, per the California Post. They’re accused of billing for unnecessary surgeries, recruiting homeless people into sham rehab programs, and charging the government for phony hospice care. One case alone involves $1.6 billion in alleged sham rehab claims, which prosecutors call the largest of its kind ever.
