In Illinois, dead people not only can vote, but can get free medical care

Illinois clearly is the pioneer in the not yet existent deceased rights movement, which I have heard is having trouble with turnout for its rallies.  But if the dead ever do rise from their graves in a zombie apocalypse, as so often dramatized on cable television, they will no doubt demand that other states follow the lead of  Illinois.

They're not dead, they're a constituency:

Illinois Policy reveals that the state has spent $4.6 million on Medicaid for dead people:

An audit by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' Office of Inspector General, or OIG, found Illinois spent $4.6 million on Medicaid coverage for dead people.

From October 2015 to September 2017, Illinois made 84 insurance payments for 80 deceased individuals that the state did not recover, according to OIG's audit. The state now owes the federal government $3.2 million – the portion of the $4.6 million Illinois received from the federal health department.

OK, there’s an explanation....

State officials blamed the errors on a “technical flaw,” according to the Chicago Tribune, and said the state failed to enter the individuals’ death dates into the system.

He’s not dead, Jim.

Illinoise says they'll give me health care after I'm dead. So I've got that goin' for me.

Well, the RATS have every other combination and perversion of sexual content on the ballot....might as well put ZOMBIE on there too.

“OIG, found Illinois spent $4.6 million on Medicaid coverage for dead people.”

Well if they are allowed to vote they should qualify for free healthcare.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That’s how they compensate them for voting Democrat. Free medical care.

And if there is one thing that dead people desperately need, is free medical care.

In Illinois brain-dead people can also be governors, state legislators, judges, mayors, city council members and school administrators.

“...if there is one thing that dead people desperately need, is free medical care.”

Bernie’s in.

Kamala’s in

Heap Big Mad Woman’s in.

Beto says “Hell yea I’m in”.

Sleepy Joe Said “Me and Obama already did that”

Hey! It’s Illinois! That’s the way the crooks operate up there.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Are these the same dead people that voted for Kennedy in 1960?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Good point. LOL. They have enough problems with their elections. They don’t need a bunch of sick corpses showing up at the polls.

[Patriot Babe]

I wonder if these patients that were treated were using a Social Security pertaining to a dead person.

[sphinx]

Death is a preexisting condition so by definition, under Obamacare, it cannot be used to deny insurance coverage.

I know of a person here in Missouri... flaming liberal Democrat. Her mother went on disability in 1968. She was a teacher. Her father set her up to receive the payments in some fraud scam. The father died in 1999. The daughter kept the scam going until last year when a knock came at her door. She was being sued by the States Teacher’s pension system. She was charged and plead guilty in February of this year to fraud and is yet to be sentenced. The scam lasted FIFTY years! The total fraud was around $500,000 of payments.

...which is nice.

[TBP]

Have to keep them voting Democrat.

[The Antiyuppie]

“Well if they are allowed to vote they should qualify for free healthcare“.

The real story is how many claims for oxygen bottles and pain management treatments that they filed for!

[tallyhoe]

I am sure they vote often! Don’t know about the medical care though!
