From Breitbart: Abukar Dahir Osman, the permanent representative of Somalia to the United Nations, is linked to a home healthcare agency in Cincinnati, Ohio, that was prosecuted for Medicaid fraud, officials with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have confirmed.
This week, online reports began circulating that Osman had ties to Progressive Health Care Services, a home healthcare company plagued by a Medicaid fraud investigation.
HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill confirmed via X that Osman is in fact linked to Progressive Health Care Services and that the federal agency previously took action against the home healthcare company after a conviction for Medicaid fraud.
O’Neill announced, “I can confirm public speculation that Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman, Permanent Representative of Somalia to the UN and President of the Security Council, is in fact associated with Progressive Health Care Services, a home health agency in Cincinnati. HHS has previously taken action against Progressive in response to a conviction for Medicaid fraud. More to come.”
