🧵THREAD: Is Brooklyn, NY a Medicaid fraud hotspot?
Brooklyn, NY has a home care billing industry that defies belief.
One zip code (11232, Sunset Park) has 30,181 residents and $3.8 BILLION in Medicaid claims. That's $143,000 per man, woman, and child.
What's even stranger is that the average income is $90K, the poverty rate is below 20%, and it is one of the younger zip codes in the area.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.
