Dr. Oz Takes Down Gavin Newsom
Many smears, scandals, and charges of gross incompetence a single politician can absorb before the facade starts to crack.

Gavin Newsom appears rattled -- again.
One wonders how many smears, scandals, and charges of gross incompetence a single politician can absorb before the facade starts to crack.
This time, the irritant is Dr. Mehmet Oz, a top gun from Washington. He is in Newsom’s backyard (actually a less desirable zip code) uncovering -- yet again -- another industrial-scale fraud while acting as the powerful administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
This is not a man who shows up with a clipboard and a punch-the-clock attitude. He arrives with an army of auditors.
Earning his salary, Dr. Oz identified what he described as one of California’s hotbeds of healthcare fraud. The scene? A four-block radius containing an astonishing 42 hospice operations -- a clustering so implausible it might as well have been illuminated by a sign reading: Please Arrest Me. No “Learing Center” typo gave away this criminal scheme. But Dr. Oz did note that the business names suggested ties to the Russian-Armenian mafia -- an observation that, while provocative, was hardly the most alarming detail. That was simply the tip of the Titanic-sized iceberg.
There was more. Much more -- just a short freeway drive away.
Dr. Oz’s team had barely touched ground when they uncovered a staggering network of fraudulent “healthcare providers” in Los Angeles County. Among the top fraudsters (competition was fierce): “210 hospice agencies crammed into a single square mile, with 112 licenses tied to one unsigned commercial building -- many showing no evidence of actual operations.” No staff. No patients. No buzzers. Just licenses multiplying like rabbits.
