Two Nassau home health care workers charged in Medicaid scam

Newsday reports:

Two workers at a Nassau County home health care agency bilked the taxpayers of more than $300,000 by lying about services they provided to disabled people, law enforcement officials said Monday.

Charles Zizi, 46, of South End Avenue, Manhattan, pleaded not guilty to inflating the hours of service his employees worked for patients, and lying about how much he charged for services, law enforcement officials said. They said he pocketed the proceeds of the scheme and spent them on jewelry, a luxury vehicle and trips to Paris, Jamaica and Florida.

No word yet from liberals who say the government can be more efficient than an insurance company.
