I mean you're married Tom you're married if your husband's doing something if he's allegedly doing something like this you guys would know if your wives were up to some nefarious stuff let's just not forget who she is she's been for years lecturing America about morality inequality systemic failures and look at her track record how many times has she had to go on in the past two months and look at the camera and do a legal apology for for all the stuff that she said on the show and so I just for me it's just better
to not have any anything to do with any of that in her own words no one is above the law so something will come of it or it won't but it's very sad I don't wish that kind of on anybody I mean that's got to be hard they have kids like it's awful and once you get lawyers involved it's just the lawyers always win the morning the Scandal broke started off like any other coffee in hand scrolling through the latest headlines but then something caught my eye the name Sunny Hosten popped up but not for
her usual fiery takes on The View no this time it was about her husband doctor Emanuel Manny hustin and the headlines well let's just say they weren't kind Dr hustin a well-known orthopedic surgeon and his practice host Orthopedics and Sports Medicine suddenly found themselves in the middle of a full-blown storm the accusations insurance fraud Kickbacks and wait for it being part of an epic REO lawsuit involving a jaw-dropping 180 defendants that's not a court case folks that's a star studded cast but before we dive in hit that like button and subscribe so you don't miss
any of the twists and turns in this Hollywood Worthy Scandal 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 uh health insurance companies to get paid for for the work that he's been trained his whole life
to do [Music] let's break it down the RICO Act short for racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations Act was originally crafted to go after organized crime syndicates think mobsters and gangsters but this time the mafia isn't in the hot seat instead it's doctors surgeons and entire medical practices that are under scrutiny forget Good Fellas this courtroom drama feels more like Gray's Anatomy but with a side of fraud the lawsuit claims Dr hustin and his colleagues were running a scheme to game the Health Care System allegedly they took Kickbacks for performing unnecessary surgeries and build insurance companies
for procedures that may not have even happened picture this patients going under the knife insurance companies picking up the tab and behind the scenes cash changing hands like it's a high stakes poker game in the operating room I've been waiting my whole life for this one orthopedic surgeon and husband for The View host Sunny hoston has been named AED 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'mma
and I'm going 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 what and they're talking about threatening him with um insurance fraud would say you could get about 20 years in prison so that's a death sentence for him now here's where it gets juicy the lawsuit specifically targets doctor Hosten for allegedly taking Financial incentives to recommend or
perform arthoscopic surgeries those minimally invasive procedures using a camera to look inside joints on the surface these surgeries seemless legit but the lawsuit claims that some weren't medically necessary at all so the question is were these patients really in need of knee or shoulder surgeries or was someone just chasing a paycheck if true these allegations could make a soap opera love triangle look tame imagine the Betrayal patients trusting their doctor only to later find out they were nothing more than Pawns in a financial game it's the kind of betrayal that hits you where it hurts
literally it's always the people that always do the pointing and it's always it always comes back to them all right so when you said this is the largest RICO case ever filed in the state of New York you guys put let wrap that wrap that around your around your brain that's bigger than the mafia case like the mafia one was number one this one takes it over so he was scamming insurance companies from um taxi drivers Uber drivers and lift drivers he was performing unnecessary surgeries and then providing fraudulent Medical Services in exchange for the
Kickbacks on the flip side we have American Transit insurance company atic the plaintiff in this case addict claims they've been defrauded out of millions alleging they were build for surgeries that either didn't happen or weren't needed it's like paying for a steak and getting tofu instead but let's be real insurance companies don't exactly have Clean Hands either they've been accused of underpaying doctors denying claims and using every trick in the book to avoid paying out so the real question is is addict trying to expose a huge healthc care scam or is this just a last
ditch effort by a nearly bankrupt company to blame someone else according to a new lawsuit obtained by Page 6 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 in quote getting Kickbacks by performing surgery and building a company that ured taxi companies and Uber and lift drivers Dr host's lawyer Daniel Thwaites didn't hold back he called the lawsuit a meritless attempt by addict to recover losses slamming it as a desperate move by a
company teetering on the edge of financial ruin his defense turned the spotlight on atic as the real villain it's a classic courtroom move when you're under attack you attack back and trust me it's enough to keep this drama sizzling but wait there's more media critics didn't hold back ripping the view for what they called blatant hypocrisy know Sunny Hon's husband Dr Manny is now in the in the Press being named in a lawsuit in a RICO suit basically for taking Kickbacks for IAL procedures I think in the form of like uber rides and all these
things do you think this has any legs to it they're a high-profile couple could he be being targeted for that reason people sent me that article and I like so far from being a lawyer I don't really understand what he did even like other than it's insurance fraud you know if he has done something illegal I believe in the law you know he should pay the consequences it's Terri I mean it's horrible I don't keep in touch with her she's been kind of shady to me on social media and on Watch What Happens Live of
all things and I was really surprised because I thought we had a good relationship she want to watch what happens live and like just didn't was unkind and so I just for me it's just better to not have any anything to do with any of that they pointed out how sunny hoston used to call out people for committing the exact same crimes her husband is now accused of now while Dr hoston battles for his reputation in court his wife Sunny has stayed remarkably silent known for tackling tough issues head-on Sunny's usually not shy about stirring
up controversy but on this radio silence why is she standing by her husband distancing herself or just waiting for her legal team to tell her what to say fans are buzzing speculating that she's protecting her Public Image or trying to avoid becoming a Target herself either way her silence speaks volumes but here's the real kicker Dr hustin is just one of the 180 defendants named in this lawsuit we're talking about other doctors medical practices and even hospitals if the allegations are true this could be one of the largest medical fraud scandals in recent history an
entire network of corruption exploiting loopholes in the healthare system to rake in millions all at the expense of patients and insurance [Music] companies it's like a heist movie but instead of robbing banks they're targeting insurance premiums at the heart of it all this case raises a bigger question how much trust can we place in our health care System when money seems to come before patient care when doctors and insurance companies prioritize profit over people trust crumbles patients should feel safe walking into their doctor's office not like they're about to get roped into a financial scam
and let's not forget if adct is using this lawsuit as a smoke screen for their own financial troubles they're just throwing gasoline on the fire this situation is a tangled mess and untangling it won't be easy as of now Dr hustin hasn't been found guilty these are still just allegations but the court drama is heating up both sides are going to throw everything they've got at each other and all we can do for now is watch wait and try to separate fact from fiction whether Dr hoston is guilty or innocent this case has already shined
