Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke explained to Breitbart News how people are committing fraud against taxpayers by running fake “home health” businesses that could grant them up to $250,000 per year, despite no work actually being done.
Cooke sat down with Breitbart News during Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference last week, where she explained that “individuals tried to report the fraud that was happening in Ohio,” and eventually told her, “We’re watching providers rubber-stamp paperwork for home health.”

“There’s many states like this,” the attorney added, citing Pennsylvania as another state in which “you can go in, and you can say, ‘My aging parent needs a home health care, and I want to provide it.’”
“The state will, as long as the doctor has approved it, continue to pay you,” she said. “It could be for ten hours, twelve hours, up to 24 when it’s critical care.”
“You could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn’t need it, make about $75,000 to $90,000 a year,” Cooke continued. “Now, you add two parents, that’s $180,000, you add your in-laws, $250,000.”
