Fraud — or a Broken System? Inside Healthcare's Spending Problem

Are billions in healthcare spending slipping through the cracks — or is the system itself the problem? In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, we discuss an investigation into nearly half a billion dollars in home hospice billing in the New Orleans area, where some listed providers were missing, unresponsive, or operating from questionable addresses. And it's happening across the country. While not proof of fraud, the findings reveal troubling patterns — from unusually high billing to providers collecting millions with little visible footprint.

Maggie Miller is joined by investigative reporter James Varney to examine what’s driving these red flags, the growing role of citizen journalists in uncovering them, and whether the real issue is bad actors or a system full of loopholes. Varney's full investigation can be found here.
