the morning of the Scandal broke like any other day coffee in hand scrolling through the headlines until the name Sunny hoston popped up but it wasn't for her fiery commentary on The View no this time it was her husband Dr Emmanuel Manny Hosten making headlines and not the good kind the orthopedic surgeon and his practice host Orthopedics and Sports Medicine were slapped with accusations that could shake up both his life and hers the charges insurance fraud Kickbacks and being part of a spraw in Rico lawsuit involving wait for it 180 defendants that's not a court
case that's an ensemble cast I agree with mostly everything that's been said I mean we know that you know only about 31% of Americans trust our health care System we have a terrible Health Care system and you know doctors suffer because of big corporations as well doctors that want to do good um like my husband um you know operates on someone even though they don't have insurance and then has to sue health health insurance companies to get paid for for the work that he's been trained his whole life to [Music] do but before we get
started with this whole drama make sure you like And subscribe to the channel so you don't miss out on the latest news surrounding Hollywood let's start by breaking down the RICO Act for those not fluent in legal jargon the racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations Act was designed to dismantle organized crime think mobs ERS gangsters and all the Shady dealings in between but here it's not the mafia in the hot seat it's doctors surgeons and medical practices suddenly the courtroom drama goes from Good Fellas to Gray's Anatomy with a sight of fraud the lawsuit alleges that
Dr hoston and others engaged in a scheme to game the Health Care System Kickbacks were allegedly handed out for performing unnecessary surgeries and billing insurance companies for services that may not have been provided patients going under the knife insurance companies footing the bill and behind the scenes money exchanging hands like it's poker Knight at the hospital I've been waiting my whole life for this one orthopedic surgeon and husband for The View host Sunny hoston has been named in a federal lawsuit alleging insurance fraud she got on television she got in he M she she run
the women tell me why she got her husband is named in a lawsuit and insurance fraud and I'm and I'm going to show you exhibit let me say exhibit B can you show this to the jury rolling Nick you know doctors suffer because of big corporations as well doctors that want to do good um like my husband um you know operates on someone even though they don't have insurance and they're talking about threatening him with um insurance fraud I would say you could get about 20 years in prison so that's a death sentence for him
here's where it gets juicy the lawsuit accuses Dr hos of receiving Financial incentives or kickbacks for recommending or performing surgeries specifically arthoscopic surgeries which involv using a camera and instruments to look inside joints are at the heart of the matter now in many cases arthroscopy is a legitimate minimally invasive procedure but the lawsuit claims that some of these surgeries weren't medically necessary raising the question were these patients knees and shoulders really that bad or was someone just chasing a Payday if true the allegations suggest the system so corrupt it makes a soap opera love triangle
look tame imagine patients trusting their surgeon only to later find out they were Pawns in a game of financial gain it's a betrayal that hits where it hurts literally you and the chosen one it was said that you would destroy this and not join them bring balance to the force not leaving in darkness on the other side of the courtroom is the American Transit insurance company attic the plaintiff in this case attic which specializes in insuring taxi drivers and transportation workers claims they've been defrauded out of millions they say they were build for surgeries that
didn't need to happen or didn't happen at all it's like ordering a stake paying for it and then finding out you got tofu instead but let's not forget insurance companies aren't exactly known for their saintly Behavior critics have long accused them of denying claims underpaying doctors and using every trick in the book to avoid paying out so is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black or is addict genuinely trying to expose a massive healthc care scam according to a new lawsuit obtained by Page Six the orthopedic surgeon was one of 200 defendants
named in one of the biggest racketeer influenced and corrupt organization cases ever filed in New York Emanuel was accused of federal insurance fraud and quote getting Kickbacks by performing surgery and billing a company that insured taxi companies and Uber and lift drivers Dr host's lawyer Daniel Thwaites came out swinging in a strongly worded statement he called the lawsuit a scattershot meritless attempt by adct to recover losses th didn't mince words describing the case as a desperate move by a near bankrupt company trying to save itself by dragging innocent parties into a legal Quagmire the defensive
strategy seems to be this paint attic as the villain after all what better way to deflect attention than to highlight the flaws of the accuser it's a classic he who lives in a glass house argument and it's got enough bite to keep things interesting while Dr hustin battles legal fire Sunny Hosten has remained conspicuously quiet as a co-host of the view Sunny is known for tackling tough issues and never shying away from controversy yet on this particular issue she's as quiet as a librarian during finals week her silence raises questions is she standing by her
husband is she distancing herself or is she simply waiting for her lawyers to tell her what to say her absence from the conversation doesn't stop fans from speculating some believe she's trying to protect her rep reputation While others think she's keeping mum to avoid becoming a Target herself either way her silence is deafening this isn't just about Dr hustin he's one of 180 defendants named in the lawsuit a roster that includes other doctors medical practices and even hospitals the lawsuit paints a picture of a network so vast it makes you wonder how no one noticed
earlier if true this conspiracy could be one of the largest medical fraud cases in recent history the allegation suggests that these parties work together to exploit loopholes in the Healthcare System system making millions while patients and insurance companies bore the [Music] brunt it's like a heist movie but instead of banks the target was insurance premiums at its core this case isn't just about one doctor or one lawsuit it's about the Integrity of the healthc care system when profit takes precedence over patient care trust in the system erodes patients go to doctors expecting help not to
become Pawns in a scheme to pad someone's bank account but it's also a cautionary tale for insurance companies if adct is using this lawsuit as a smoke screen for their own financial troubles they're only adding fuel to the fire the whole situation is a mess and untangling it will be no small feat as of now the case is still unfolding Dr hustin has not been found guilty and the allegations remain just that but the court proceedings promise to be a spectacle with both sides likely to throw everything they have at each other for now all
we can do is wait watch and try to separate fact from fiction whether Dr hoston is guilty or innocent this case has already shown a spotlight on some uncomfortable truths about the healthcare and insurance Industries so there you have it a story with Scandal drama and just enough moral ambiguity to keep everyone guessing whether your team addict or team host one thing's for sure this Saga is far from over and as the twists and turns keep coming we'll all be here popcorn in hand watching it play out like the courtroom drama it's destined to become
