“Ram Chhetri came to the US as a refugee, but this might be worst day of his life: It’s the moment he realizes the $80k-$160k/year salary he’s bilked from Medicaid for no-show work is coming to an end because @realdailywire caught the truth on camera. We conducted months of surveillance that shows why “home care aide” is now the *most common job* in states like NY, CA, MN, and PA: Because a large part of those jobs are unambiguous Medicaid fraud.
Thanks to home care, Bhutanese refugees now make more money than actual PA families. The state doesn’t just look the other way, but helps them get away with it. Converting federal health dollars into a universal basic income for certain communities relieves the financial burden they place on the state.
The scammers easily deceive the feds’ woefully broken monitoring system. You’ll see Ram pull into a driveway for 2 minutes in the morning, then 2 minutes in the evening. He clocks in and out of his shift from the right place, and the GPS system doesn’t notice that he goes home in between.
$20 an hour doesn’t sound like much, but at 77 hours a week, it’s $80k–and it’s easy to bill huge hours when you don’t actually have to work them. And that’s just for the low-level guys in this scheme.”
She and her husband make money off these companies. And even though they're rich, they won't take care of their own aging relative who lives with them. They leave her on Medicaid, and make the government pay someone to watch her for 11 hours a day because she has diabetes. That… pic.twitter.com/srN57Axfyc

The owner of Gaunley told me he'd have his staff investigate what was going on at this second house where Chhetri appeared to have a no-show home care job. Don't hold your breath: Guess who's the Gaunley employee in charge of verifying that home aides are where they're supposed… pic.twitter.com/QPiWwB1Z4x

To Catch A Fraudster: Watch Us Bust A Refugee Medicaid Scammer Red-Handed
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Ram Kuma Chhetri has a routine.
Every morning at 6 a.m., he pulls into the driveway of a nearby home, sits in the car for two or three minutes, then leaves. At 5 p.m., he does the same: drives up, fiddles with his phone in the driver’s seat, then returns home.
Why does he do this every day?
Pennsylvania allows poor elderly people to steer government Medicaid payments to their relatives or friends for helping them cook, clean and perform other everyday in-home tasks. Its version of the program is so generous that home care is now the most common profession in the state. A “home care” aide only has to do one thing to get the state to pay out: use a GPS-enabled phone app that confirms that the worker is at his client’s house when he clocks in and clocks out.
To anyone checking the system, Chhetri, a Bhutanese refugee, appears to be working 11 hours a day, seven days a week caring for an elderly person, work that unleashes $82,000 in government payments. In reality, he seems to spend five minutes a day in her driveway.
The Daily Wire amassed months of footage of Chhetri doing this like clockwork. As he left one afternoon, he gave me a smile and wave before lighting up a cigarette as he piloted his electric car at the turtle-like pace of a man with nothing to do.
No-show “home care” work is so common in Pennsylvania that it’s no longer viewed as something to hide. In August, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration arrested a drug trafficker in the state who asked the agents to let him out of handcuffs so he could clock out of the home health shift he was supposedly working. When they pointed out that that was illegal, he seemed confused, saying, “Everyone is doing this. If this is a problem, you’ll have to arrest the whole city.”
