Adoradad episode Spoilers!
So it’s revealed that Mao Mao and Badgerclops have been in Pureheart Valley for roughly 8mnths. In that time, Mao Mao had taken care of Adorabat thinking she was a ward of the state (same dude same.). Adoradad (not actual name, forgot) has 8 jobs and been very busy. He’s come for his daughter...who doesn’t want to go home yet.
Thanks to Badgerclops letting it slip that they use her as bait sometimes, Adoradad really doesn’t want his daughter there. Which is understandable, even worse when he tried to call the sherif on them.
It’s no wonder has that many jobs. None of this looks cheap, but I love how it’s all bat themed! They literally have furniture on the ceiling!
Also, they returned her because they believe that’s what best. 😿 Yeah they miss her, but know that she has to go home because:
1.) she has a dad
2.) she is still a child
Turns out her mom used to work in the caves collecting crystals, as seen her and around their home. It’s revealed that she died one day when she took Adorabat with her, and protected her against a monster. Because of this, her father is protective even if he is cared of her sometimes. Plus now we know how she lost leg.
Turns out her screaming ( her screaming is basically like a super ecolation +damage) reached Mao Mao, to come to the rescue!
It all ends on a happy note as he lets his daughter do what makes her happy. He’s a good dad, he just tells her to be careful and that she can come home anytime. She scares him, but he loves her.

California: Egyptian Physician to Pay Back $5M in Medicare Fraud Scheme
‘Khalil knowingly submitted diagnoses that were not supported by the beneficiaries’ medical records in order to inflate the payments...’
Beaver Medical Group L.P. (Beaver) and one of its physicians, Dr. Sherif Khalil, have agreed to pay a total of $5,039,180 to resolve allegations that they reported invalid diagnoses to Medicare Advantage plans and thereby caused those plans to receive inflated payments from Medicare, the Justice Department announced. Beaver is headquartered in Redlands, California.
“The United States relies on healthcare providers to submit accurate diagnosis data to Medicare Advantage plans to ensure those plans receive the appropriate compensation from Medicare,” said Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt of the Department of Justice’s Civil Division. “We will pursue those who undermine the integrity of the Medicare program and the data it relies upon.”
Under the Medicare Advantage program, also known as the Medicare Part C program, Medicare beneficiaries may opt to obtain health care coverage through private insurance plans that are owned and operated by private insurers known as Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs). Medicare pays MAOs a fixed, monthly amount to provide health care coverage to Medicare beneficiaries who enroll in their plans. Medicare adjusts these monthly payments to reflect the health status of each beneficiary. In general, Medicare pays MAOs more for sicker beneficiaries and less for healthier ones.
MAOs often contract with physician groups and other healthcare providers to provide care to Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in their plans. These healthcare providers report diagnoses and other information to the MAOs, which the MAOs then submit to Medicare in order to obtain higher risk-adjusted payments.
In this case, several MAOs in California contracted with Beaver to provide health care to Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in their plans. The MAOs often compensated Beaver with a share of the payments that the MAOs received from Medicare for the beneficiaries under Beaver’s care. Thus, Beaver had a financial incentive to submit additional diagnosis codes to the MAOs in order to increase the payments that the MAOs received from Medicare. The settlement resolves allegations that Beaver and Dr. Khalil knowingly submitted diagnoses that were not supported by the beneficiaries’ medical records in order to inflate the payments that the MAO received from Medicare.
“As enrollment in Medicare Advantage continues to grow, investigation into accuracy of diagnosis data becomes ever more important,” said Timothy B. Francesca, Acting Special Agent in Charge for the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “Those who inflate bills sent to government health programs can expect to pay a heavy price.”
The settlement resolves allegations originally brought in a lawsuit filed under the qui tam, or whistleblower, provisions of the False Claims Act by Dr. David Nutter, a former employee of Beaver. The act permits private parties to sue on behalf of the government for false claims for government funds and to receive a share of any recovery. Dr. Nutter will receive approximately $850,000.
The government’s intervention in this matter illustrates its emphasis on combating health care fraud. One of the most powerful tools in this effort is the False Claims Act. Tips and complaints from all sources about potential fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement, can be reported to the Department of Health and Human Services, at 800-HHS-TIPS (800-447-8477).
This matter was handled by the Civil Division’s Commercial Litigation Branch and the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General.
The case is docketed as United States ex rel. David Nutter, M.D., and David Nutter, M.D., individually, v. Sherif F. Khalil, M.D., Beaver Medical group, L.P., The Beaver Medical Clinic, Inc., Epic Management, L.P., and Epic Management, Inc., No. CVC17-02035-PSG-KKX (C.D. Cal.).
The claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only; there has been no determination of liability.

How is this guy not in jail and the medical practice out of business?
Khalil is an Arabic speaker who graduated from medical school in Egypt in 1985 and some how ended up in the U.S...robbing taxpayers.

If Mao Mao had a gun he'd have some kind of big revolver because Sherif motif. He'd also have a pump action shotgun of some sort, it would fit his characterization as someone whose both showy and cocky, but at the same time is fairly pragmatic.
I think he needs a cowboy hat
