An explosive lawsuit accused this darling of the Democratic left to have shamelessly manipulated the bidding process for a massive Medicaid contract—a program partially funded by the federal government—to favor her out-of-state cronies. The prize? A cool $9 billion.
Yes, you read that right: $9 billion! This isn't a typo—it's the size of the foot that Hochul allegedly rigged to fatten the pockets of her pals while everyday New Yorkers watch their healthcare system crumble.
A Scheme Rotten to the Core
Welcome to the circus of progressive corruption, where hypocrisy is the currency and taxpayers are the clowns.
The accusation targets the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), designed to help the most vulnerable with in-home healthcare.
Hochul and his administration allegedly twisted the bidding process to hand the judgment contract to an out-of-state company, bypassing all transparency and fair competition.
The result? A firm with no roots in the state pocketed control of a vital program, while local providers were left high and dry.
Democratic Representative Ritchie Torres, in a rare moment of clarity for someone from his party, blew the lid off the scandal and demanded an investigation .
Torres pointed out that this company started hiring staff for the contract before it was even officially announced!
Coincidence? Please—this reeks of a fix from Albany to Manhattan.
Torres didn't mince words: “There's something rotten in the state of New York under Kathy Hochul's watch.” And Torres is right, even if it's a Democrat saying it.
The Left and Their Love for Dirty Money
Hochul, the figure the left adores for her “social justice” façade, is no rookie in the power game.
She took over the governorship in 2021 after Andrew Cuomo's disgraceful fall, promising to clean up Albany's cesspool. But, like a true progressive, it seems her idea of “cleaning” involves sweeping public money under the rug for her allies.
The latest lawsuit and accusations maintain that $9 billion contract wasn't just allegedly rigged plaintiffs claim—the process was riddled with irregularities from the start, with allegations pointing to a web of political favors that stinks from thousands away.
And it's not Hochul's first time playing in the mud. In 2024, she proposed allocating $2.4 billion to manage the immigrant crisis—another issue where Democrats spend lavishly while pretending to care about the “vulnerable.”
Where does that money end up? Nobody knows for sure, but this Medicaid scandal suggests taxpayers aren't exactly the priority.
The Department of Justice Steps In
The scandal has escalated so much that the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, now has its eyes on Hochul.
If the federal government funds part of this program, then this could not only be just a state crime—it's a direct assault on every American's money.
Bondi, a no-nonsense conservative warrior, already sued Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James in February 2025 for protecting illegal immigrants. Now, this latest mess could be the nail in the governor's coffin.
Progressive Hypocrisy Laid Bare
Here's the most outrageous part: while the left preaches about “equity” and “transparency,” it looks like the true gospel is illicit enrichment.
What happened to those tear-jerking speeches about caring for the poor? Where's the “social justice” now? This is what happens when you let progressives control the budget: it turns into an all-you-can-eat buffet for your buddies, and the people foot the bill.
The contrast with conservative values couldn't be starker. We believe in fair competition, accountability, and government serving the people—not politicians' cronies.
What's next?
This case is still open before the New York Supreme Court and pending final resolution with both plaintiffs and respondents filing evidence to support their case.
There are other lawsuits pending in New York. Some plaintiffs have requested to stop the implementation of this new contract alleging patients' privacy violations until a hearing is held to determine whether DOH should be permanently joined from enforcing patients' data transfer or delaying the deadline and restricting DOH from taking any adverse action against plaintiffs, including having them expelled from Medicaid program.
As the Department of Justice sharpens its knives, conservatives sit back with popcorn, ready to watch this queen of progressive fraud crash and burn.
The next time a Democrat talks about “morality,” just point to cases like New York.
