Waste, fraud and abuse of the taxpayers’ money is how politicians become multimillionaires. They’re not going to give that up without a fight.

Towards the end of my 46 year medical career I quit working in ER’s because they had become immediate cares for Medicaid losers.

I glance over the claim reports that Medicare sends out. About a year ago, I saw a claim north of $100,000 from a provider I didn't recognize. Called Medicare to report the false charge.

I was told that the claim was part of a fraud action, and would be removed when the court case was completed. "When?" "Who knows. Don't worry about it."

“... Medicaid isn’t intended for the 1.4 million illegal aliens who are on it, Johnson noted; it’s supposed to be for our citizens who need it....”

When does Joe Wilson get an apology for calling Obama a liar, when he said that illegal aliens will never get Obama Care?

Most of the recent articles I have seen in newspapers are Apples to Oranges comparisons. Locally, they have said that Medicaid funds Kidney dialysis, it funds prenatal health of young single mothers, it funds mental health care, it funds all kinds of things, which are true..........but none of that for citizens or those capable of working are to be cut under the proposed bills.

So the talking point is all the wonderful things that Medicaid does and that evil Republicans are going to cut so much money from Medicaid without ever focusing on where the cuts are to take place.

Another thing often overlooked is State expansion of Medicaid with the expectation that the federal government will always and forever and ever pay for the state expansion of the basic federal program.
