Georg Rockall-Schmidt's video: The 2 Billion Rehab Scam

In America, private organizations have been picking up intoxicated people from off the street, under the guise of helping them get sober.

This is how from 2021 to 2023, $2 billion was stolen from the American taxpayer in just one state, in one of the biggest Medicaid fraud schemes in the history of Arizona, involving hundreds of fraudulent drug and alcohol rehab facilities.
