MORE massive Medicare and welfare fraud by Somalis in Minnesota

Somalis in Minnesota have swindled hundreds of millions of dollars in state Medicaid funds earmarked for "autism-care programs."

This is separate from the $250 MILLION in fraud by Somalis in the state that was connected to non-existent meals billed to taxpayers but never provided.

Hundreds of "autism clinics" were created--by Somalis--to bilk the state out of money, and never saw a patient.  The organizers offered payments of $300 to $1,500 per MONTH to parents if they'd falsely claim their kid was autistic.

All of this massive fraud occurred under the eye of the state's Democrat governor and former Democrat Party vice-presidential nominee, Tim Walz.

The amount of money paid out to fraudsters by Minnesota’s scandal-plagued welfare schemes is staggering.  Example: the state’s "Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program began in 2021, expecting to pay out $2.6 million the first year.  Instead the program paid out $21 million in its first year.  In the second year the program paid $42 million, then $74 million, then $104 million.  During the first half of this year costs had already reached $61 million, according to City Journal.  And not a single state employee batted an eye.  'Ouah job iz t'pay duh claims, not to investigate.'

Fraud is endemic in virtually every one of Minnesota’s MANY welfare programs.  City Journal noted that a Somali woman named Asha Farhan Hassan has been charged with defrauding the state’s Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention program of $14 million over fake diagnoses of autism in children of Somali migrants.

Prosecutors say that Hassan and her cohorts approached Somali families and promised them kickbacks of between $300 to $1500 a month per child if they enrolled in the state’s autism treatment programs.

The fraud in payments for fake autism treatment has skyrocketed:  City Journal notes that autism claims to Medicaid in Minnesota jumped from $3 million in 2018 to $54 million just in one year, then to $77 million in 2020, $183 million 2021, $279 million in 2022, and $399 million in 2023, as fraudsters discovered the state would pay any claim without verifying anything.

If a government offers free money to dishonest people, with virtually no oversight, what do you think will happen?

The number of declared "autism treatment clinics" in Minnesota soared from 41 in 2020 to 328 by 2025 — all of them getting millions from state Medicaid funds.  The fraud was so widespread that one in every 16 Somali four-year-olds in Minnesota had been “officially” diagnosed with autism—more than triple the rate for other ethnic groups in the state.

And this is all in addition to the Feeding Our Future scam that has resulted in 70 Minnesotan Somalis being indicted for $250 million in fraudulent food aide.  Nearly all the fraudsters escaped prosecution by fleeing to Somalia when investigators began looking for 'em.

U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said most of these cases aren’t just overbilling but are totally fictitious companies created to defraud the system, and that Minnesota has more of this than other states.  Thompson said “I've spent my career as a fraud prosecutor, and the amount of fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away.”

To make matters worse, millions of dollars of the billions stolen by fraudulent welfare payments to Somalis in Minnesota ended up funding a terrorist group in Africa called Al-Shabaab.

City Journal’s Ryan Thorpe and Christopher F. Rufo have traced millions in fraudulent payments to Somalis to the al-Qaida-linked Islamic terror group Al-Shabaab.  Former Seattle Police Department detective Glenn Kerns claims to have traced $20 million sent to Africa by Somalis in Seattle in just a single year. 

But the Democrat governors of Minnesota and Washington state (and all others) just shrug and smile:  'Not my problem, deplorable!  All deez dozens of welfare programs beez funded by duh federal government, an' if Biden's pipo don't care, why should I, eh?  Oh sure, my employees are paid to administer these programs here and cut the checks, but nothing in federal rules or laws requires us to verify that the recipients are delivering what they claim, so why should we go to the effort of investigating?'

Starting to see why Minnesota has paid out well over two BILLION dollars to fraudsters over the past five years, in federal programs for food, "housing stabilization," fraudulent medical care and a dozen other programs?

Are you starting to see why Democrat governors don't wanna investigate and prosecute?  Because by ignoring the massive fraud by Somalis they're guaranteed to get the votes of that group.

But why be concerned, eh?  It's only money.  Which the federal government has to borrow.  But don't worry, cuz Dems imply (but cleverly don't explicitly say) dat don't cost nuffin'.

I hope when it all crashes, years from now, your grown kids look at how it happened and ask you why you just closed your eyes and let it. 

But don't worry, sparky: The people who write the history books (the Mainstream Media) won't put a bit of blame on you.  Instead they'll blame Trump.

Count on it.
