FBI agents and Health and Human Services conducted raids in the Los Angeles area on Thursday morning, arresting eight defendants including nurses, a chiropractor, and a psychologist for healthcare fraud totaling over $50 million. The operation, called 'Never Say Die,' targeted sham hospice facilities that allegedly defrauded Medicare by enrolling non-terminal patients and submitting fraudulent claims. Vice President JD Vance's anti-fraud task force oversaw the operation, with CMS Administrator Dr. Oz present at the scene.
