Nick Shirley Blows Lid Off $170,000,000 Medi-Cal Scam As California Welfare Spending Explodes

Written by Published

Investigative journalist Nick Shirley has released a new expos alleging that Californias taxpayer-funded healthcare and welfare systems are hemorrhaging tens of millions of dollars through brazen fraud schemes.

According to Gateway Pundit, Shirleys latest video details how we uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences, focusing on abuse within Californias Medi-Cal program and related services. He notes that Californias version of Medicaid called Medi-Cal has more than doubled since 2022 from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion in 2026. Their population, however, has not grown exponentially. However, their spending has, raising serious questions about oversight in a state dominated by Democrat leadership and expansive welfare policies.

Shirley reports that there has been a 1,000 percent increase in hospice care in Los Angeles County, adding that its estimated that the fraud in California could be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. To test the system on the ground, he visited supposed hospices in Los Angeles and daycares in San Diego, where he found facilities that appeared to exist largely on paper while still drawing public funds.

At one Somali-run daycare in San Diego, the owner/operator screamed at Nick Shirley and called the police after he simply asked why there were no children present. Similar patterns emerged in Minnesota, where in December Shirley exposed more than $110 million in Somali fraud in Minnesota in one day, including a Minnesota Childcare Center that claims to care for 102 children despite an empty facility and another Somali learning center that could not even spell learning correctly.

In a follow-up investigation, Shirley said, In this 51 minute video David and I expose another $16 Million in fraud as Minnesota welfare programs continue to operate fraudulently and steal from law-abiding taxpayers. For conservatives who have long warned that bloated welfare bureaucracies invite abuse, these findings underscore the need for strict enforcement, serious audits, and leadership willing to prioritize taxpayers over politically protected interest groups.
