The SAVE America Act is heading for its fourth House vote — and five days before America's 250th birthday, the Senate still will not act. On this edition of The Jenny Beth Show, guest host Robert McNeily anchors a fast-moving news hour alongside two remarkable guests: Dr. Jared Ross, a board-certified emergency physician and president of EMSEC LLC, and Christopher Macchio, the presidential tenor. The numbers behind the Obamacare ghost-enrollment scandal are staggering. More than one million people are enrolled in Obamacare with no Social Security number on file. At its peak, that figure reached 5.6 million improper enrollments and approximately ten billion dollars a year in diverted taxpayer money. Dr. Ross — a 25-year veteran of the ER, paramedic service, and SWAT medicine — breaks down three categories of fraud victims, explains why out-of-hospital settings are uniquely vulnerable to abuse, and discusses why this is only the tip of the iceberg. The Trump administration charged 455 individuals in a single week for 6.5 billion dollars in healthcare fraud — among the largest such enforcement actions in U.S. history. Robert McNeily also covers Iran's test of the June 17 ceasefire and what it means for gas prices heading into July 4, three back-to-back 6-3 Supreme Court immigration wins for the administration, the Democratic Socialist sweep of New York Democratic congressional primaries, and a John Bolton guilty plea. The episode closes with a tribute to America's 250th heroes and an inspiring conversation with Christopher Macchio — the presidential tenor who sang Hallelujah with the Marine Corps Band at the Great American State Fair.
