If that happens in California, which it did with the hospice fraud. Newsom didn't stand in anybody's way when we started canceling people for hospice contracts. In Los Angeles County. Over 500 people were taken off as hospice providers because they weren't providing hospice, even though they were billing Medicare and Medicaid for that. So if this same level of outrage happens over some of these programs, including what happened in California with the prisoners, then I think he's a pretty savvy politician. (18:52–19:02)
