I think its good in principle.

Medicaid provides affordable health care to low income Americans but it can be more efficiently managed at less cost to taxpayers while delivering quality medical care and improved patient satisfaction.

People say its our version of Canada Medicare - in that its true its publicly financed but health care is privately delivered. The state finances the entire cost and patients never see a bill.

And the Illinois audit found that more than 8,000 dead people were still on the state’s Medicaid rolls.

While dead people still vote in Chicago, I was not aware that dead people continue to receive medical attention as well. Being on the roll is not the same as getting benefits. Or at least it is not supposed to be.....

“Medicaid is a government health insurance program aimed at helping the poor and disabled.”

No, it’s a government racketeering scheme that steals people’s money without their consent under the guise of helping them pay their medical bills. The problem is that the people paying into it have no real say in when they get to use it.

BUT THEY'RE STILL VOTING!!!

Ok, seriously I live in this craphole called Illinois. To say I'm surprised to learn that the state in which I live, unarguably the most corrupt state in the entire country, actually did something about waste and fraud in this state just blows my mind.

I hope incoming Republican Governor Bruce Rauner looks at this and mimics its success across every government program in this state.

I've been calling for a forensic audit of the Illinois State Budget for over a decade now. Will it finally happen with evidence like this coming to the fore?

One can only hope!
