Well, this is quite the surprise. One more huge scandal involving MN residents ripping off more millions from the government, all under the benevolent watch of Tim Walz.
Oh, these scammers had connections/overlap with the ones who ran the fake feeding charities. Yes, that's correct, it appears that there's a Somali connection.

Contemptible people. The greatest failure of our immigration policies is that which allows assholes like this to enter, remain and do evil here.
If the story is true, it's absolutely horrible to enrich yourself by ripping off charities. It's also horrible to deny treatment known to work for the sake of the bottom line.

No one with a criminal history should be allowed to enter, and anyone who's immigrated legally should be deported immediately when convicted of a crime.
I guess posting a link to a local news outlet who's only one of many reporting this story isn't enough for Dan now.
But he'll take as gospel Truth one article by a left leaning, biased organization (which just got exposed for being prepared to run a false story, then ignored the real story) which confirms his biases.
This inability to simply express appropriate criticism of things that those on the left do, without having to dredge up something to try to push blame away from those Dan sympathizes with is truly disgusting.
These are the same people who defrauded the state and federal governments out of millions with their feeding the poor scam, who've not run a similar scam around autism.
The fact that it's Somali immigrants gets ignored. The fact that it's the second time gets ignored. The fact that the Biden/Harris and Walz administrations didn't have anything in place to stop this before it got this bad gets ignored.
Because in Dan's twisted, liberal brain there's some kind of bizarre equivalence between immigrants engaging in illegal activity that scams millions from the taxpayers, and harms innocent children and an insurance company making decisions about coverage.
Of course, the vast increase in autism is something that can't be discussed.
It's not horrible to deny treatment on fiscal grounds. Bankrupt the insurance or health care industries and what does that get you? No one gets treatments. The fact that cost considerations are always a necessary part means the general public must alter their priorities in order to not find themselves in such a situation. We all worry about it, and for most of us who put the least amount of thought into it, hope we've done enough to save ourselves the suffering of being denied. I'm on Medicare and due to an issue of mine, I need a CT scan once a year or so. The order from the doctor is for a "low dose radiation" scan, but for some reason, Medicare chooses not to cover it. So I have to have the...I guess..."higher dose" scan. I don't really understand if the purpose itself of the scan is too greatly altered having to get one over that which isn't covered, but I believe the "low dose" is for those who may need to scanned with greater frequency for which the other scan would bring some risk. Once per year? Probably no big deal.
But these kinds of obstructions have resulted in my altering of habits so as to stave off the need for medical attention in the first place. What a concept!
I agree that it's sometimes a rational decision. What's interesting is when folx like Dan wet themselves over a "for profit" insurance company doing it but could care less when it's a government rationing care. There have been a string of cases in Canada where their idea of rationing care for certain patients is to deny treatment for a treatable disease, and push the patient toward euthanasia as a cost saving measure. But that's OK because it's the state doing it.
Likewise, when you have experimental treatments of vast expense and questionable efficacy. I think what gets people upset is when they buy policy A for $X/month and find out that the policy doesn't cover Y disease. They demand coverage, and the insurance responds by saying that they aren't covered.
The two things I find interesting is the degree to which P-BO care actually made insurance MORE EXPENSIVE, and eliminated basic/catastrophic care plans. This is basically a push for government run healthcare, and nothing else.
On a related note, look at how hard they're fighting RFK and his notion that encouraging people to actually be healthier (and use less health care). We live in a society which is determined to convince us that a 5' tall woman who weighs 400 lbs is healthy, and that a Dr telling someone to change their lifestyle is somehow oppressive. I'll admit, I'm not a paragon of healthy living, but I'm not trying to fool anyone that I am and I'm paying the price for some of my choices.
As long as the left thinks it's OK to target insurance company executives, none of the rest of this matters.
