馃УTHREAD: Is Brooklyn, NY a Medicaid fraud hotspot? Brooklyn, NY has a home care billing industry that defies belief. One zip code (11232, Sunset Park) has 30,181 residents and $3.8 BILLION in Medicaid claims. That's $143,000 per man, woman, and child. What's even stranger is that the average income is $90K, the poverty rate is below 20%, and it is one of the younger zip codes in the area. Receipts below.馃憞 As always, patience as I pull together the thread. -
I鈥檓 honored to be joining Oversight Project at @ItsYourGov as a Visiting Fellow. My work and voice here on 饾晱 remains independent. That was non-negotiable. This role gives me institutional access and tools. I'll keep following the data wherever it leads. Grateful for the trust, and grateful for all of you who've been here from the beginning -
Now for some positivity on this feed... We met with Hare Krishnas serving food at WEF (the only open tent exhibit). Their ability to serve hot food on mass scale seems genuine, and they are expanding their operations to America. They tried to recruit my mother to work for their upcoming Florida kitchens, lol. They were so excited that "DataRepublican" was interviewing them. -
