MEDICAID MILLIONS Part 5 is out and worth the wait. Meet Roshan Adhikari, a 29-year old who came to America as a refugee from Bhutan, and now lives like a garish rapper. How? 81% of Bhutanese are on welfare, which they use to make Medicaid pay companies owned by the other 19%.

There’s a big investigation into this right now. A large Bhutanese-Nepali refugee community, originally from Bhutan but ethnically Nepali, resettled in the US after living in camps, settled heavily in Ohio, especially around Columbus, with up to 30,000 people there. Many qualify for Medicaid due to low income and limited English.
The story isn’t about fake Medicare accounts though, it’s Medicaid home health care billing. Companies owned by people with the last name Adhikari and others in the community have received hundreds of millions from Ohio’s Medicaid program for services like cooking, cleaning, companionship, and personal care, often for elderly relatives in the same household. One analysis found over $350 million paid to Adhikari-named businesses alone. Specific firms pulled in $17 million, $22 million, even $143 million in some cases.
As for how a small-country group figured it out, they built tight-knit community networks after resettlement, started home health businesses serving their own people, and tapped into a program designed to keep seniors out of nursing homes. It’s not rocket science once you’re in the system; you incorporate, get certified, and bill for allowable services. Some owners live large, private jets, luxury cars, while running bare-bones companies with no websites.
Ohio’s now cracking down with freezes on new providers, GPS tracking, and hearings in Congress. There’s suspicion of abuse and waste, but most reports frame it as legal, if questionable, billing rather than proven outright fraud like fake accounts. A few wage violations have popped up, but no massive Medicare-specific indictments in what I’ve seen. It’s a hot topic with Republicans calling it taxpayer-funded foreign aid.
When people get rich off the same government programs meant to help the vulnerable, especially as non-citizens, it feels like a scam, not charity.
Home care should help people stay independent, not turn into a private jet fund.
The core issue isn’t that they’re from Bhutan. It’s that they are committing intentional fraud with payments that don’t match real work. Anyone who claims this much should face audits, clawbacks, and jail time if it’s fraud. Taxpayers aren’t a piggy bank for clever operators, no matter where they’re from.
These fraudsters should be deported. Anyone that committed fraud should immediately be deported after repaying the taxpayers.

It's impossible to notice that almost all Medicaid home health care providers are foreign. This is not a coincidence, it's a systematic op. Medicaid companies share addresses with charities that send money to Nepal–one to fund parties at the president of Nepal's house.
