And I suspect if IBM had approached a Republican Administration with a similar plan for saving $900 billion at the Pentagon, it would also have been summarily rejected. Much of that "fraud" and "waste" is instrumental in arranging the reelection of the key players.
IMHO, if michelle Bachman is as smart as I think she is, she will contact this fellow at IBM and start up things from the House side.
Now you want to talk about a HERO in an election season... Oh yeah... BOOYEAH
I can’t think of a better issue to raise one in the polls than that, and as a congresswoman in the federal system, she has the ability to do more than just talk which sepparates her from Perry and Romney both. Its a thing of beauty really.
Get hot on it Bachman!
It would have been nice if IBM had proposed their Medicare fraud pointer-outer to President Bush so it could have been given a fair look. Maybe a President Cain or President Palin could take a second look at it. Before unleashing it wholesale, we’d want administrators to triple-check the results because if its indications are based on odds alone, patients and doctors who did nothing wrong and can prove it will get scrod and many will flood the system with lawsuits.
