$950M in shady Medicaid billing, aides ‘like homeless people’ tied to NJ senior care company: sources

A New Jersey-based medical group has presided over $950 million in shady Medicaid billing for home health care and adult day care services, an investigation by The Post reveals. One operation owned by Honor Health Network, the Broadway Respite and Home Care in Fair Lawn, has billed a staggering $157 million from Medicaid from 89,000 unique patients across a six-year period, according to federal spending data. This despite the entire county only having roughly 20,000 elderly Medicaid recipients, according to data from Georgetown University. Broadway Adult Day Care, at 24-20 Broadway in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, on Oct. 28, 2026. Stefano Giovannini for NY Post Broadway Adult Day Care billed Medicaid $40 million between 2018 and 2024 for 28,000 unique patients, according to data. Stefano Giovannini for NY Post “It doesn’t look right. It’s very weird,” a former Medicaid fraud investigator, who requested anonymity, told The Post after reviewing the numbers. The home care industry gobbles up hundreds of billions of dollars a year in Medicaid funding, paying individuals to look after homebound, chronically -ill seniors. However, it is routinely scammed, according to federal authorities and previous Post investigations . Two home care entities operated by Honor Health Network —

Nellie Pou declares victory over Rosie Pino in NJ’s 9th District

Rep. Nellie Pou declared victory on Nov. 3 in her bid for a second term representing New Jersey’s 9th Congressional District, where Republicans had hoped to build on President Donald Trump’s narrow win two years earlier. The Democratic incumbent issued a statement at about 10 p.m. thanking voters after opening a large lead over Republican Rosie Pino, a Clifton councilwoman, in initial returns that included early voting and some mail-in ballots. Independent Terrisa Bukovinac also ran for the seat. “From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the people of New Jersey’s Ninth District for the trust they have placed in me,” Pou said. Speaking by phone just a few minutes earlier as she traveled between campaign gatherings, Pou said she was optimistic about the returns but stopped short of declaring a win. “I do believe that we will be victorious, and the numbers are looking exceptionally good,” she told NorthJersey.com. Pou first won the seat in 2024 after the death of longtime Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., defeating Republican Billy Prempeh by about 5 percentage points even as Trump narrowly carried the district. Democrats regained ground in the 2025 governor’s race in the district, which includes Paterson, Passaic

Billionaire Mark Cuban says he can save NJ money on drug costs | Exclusive

When New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced last month that she was putting together a working group to reform the health insurance plan for public employees once and for all, Texas billionaire Mark Cuban eagerly raised his hand, offering to help . The two exchanged messages on the social media site, X. Cuban, with 8.5 million followers, told her he was ready to tick people off. Sherrill, with 112,000 followers, told him she was done kicking the can down the road and wanted him on Team Jersey. Weeks later, their motivation is coming into focus. Both Sherrill and Cuban have railed against pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), a segment of the health care industry that is under scrutiny for its role in rising drug prices. Sherrill has promised reform. Cuban is waiting in the wings with what he says is a less expensive model. Their potentially powerful alliance could disrupt PBMs, which manage employers' prescription drug plans. One study found New Jersey public employees — and taxpayers — could have saved hundreds of millions of dollars if the workers had bought their generic drugs from Cuban's CostPlusDrugs site instead of using their insurance through the state's PBM, Optum Rx .

Amid Measles Surge, Amish Country Opens Up to Vaccines

(This content was created with the help of AI.) Pennsylvania's largest Amish community has become ground zero for the country's worst measles surge in decades—and it's quietly shifting some minds on vaccines. The AP reports Lancaster County accounts for more than a third of the state's 1,350-plus measles cases this year, with at least three related deaths there. Though the Amish and conservative Mennonites often live apart from mainstream civic life, they shop, work, and attend school alongside their "English" neighbors, making it impossible to contain the highly contagious virus within their ...

As a Historic Measles Outbreak Hits Pennsylvania Amish Country, More Show Openness to Vaccines

EPHRATA, Pa. (AP) — Amish and Mennonite shoppers in conservative dress mingled with shoppers from the wider public on a recent Friday at a vast outdoor market here, where vendors sold colorful pumpkins and mums, fry pies and squash, sports jerseys and Barbie accessories. Such interactions are common in Lancaster County, home to the largest Amish population in the U.S. — and the epicenter of the nation’s worst measles outbreak in 35 years. While they avoid many types of civic engagement for religious reasons, the Amish — like many other groups vulnerable to measles across the nation — are not truly separate. “We are all interconnected,” said Dr. Diego Hijano of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Robust vaccination rates once protected Americans much better. But rates among the general public are now falling , and rates have long been low among the Amish, creating the perfect conditions for the contagious virus — officially considered “eliminated” from the U.S. since 2000 — to spread here and beyond. Pennsylvania has the most U.S. cases, with over 1,350 this year, more than a third in Lancaster County alone , according to state figures. That’s a big undercount, community leaders say, since many people
