We Gotcher Waste & Fraud
March 1st, 2008All the while I’m thinking about my friend’s taxation issues (see the story below) I am roiling inside because yesterday I served as an alternate on the IFC Audit Subcommittee.
We were told that Medicaid, our socialized insurance coverage for the underemployed, overpaid or mispaid $30-million.
Don’t worry, no one will get fired. Heck, you won’t even hear about this in the mainstream media.

The Main Stream Media will NEVER tell anyone of what is paid out for GIVE AWAY programs and BENEFITS for the ‘underemployed.’ To hear the MSM tell it, the USA is a most evil nation! Civil Rightts are regularly violated, medical care is DENIED so many but when we ask, which ones…SILENCE!

Gee, Bob, for a government agency waste and fraud of about 2.4% is pretty good isn’t it? The sad fact is there will never be a 100% error free government, or for that matter private, system that is as large as the Medicaid program. Good grief, close to 200.000 people are in this program, and that’s about 10% of Clark county.
The close oversight by audit, with followup investigations by persons in no way related to the program being looked at is our best defence against waste and fraud. The amount of money involved is always huge, the administration of the programs is always exceedingly complicated, and the opportunity for waste and fraud seem to be built in.
But, according to the democrats, media, and other insane liberals, our medical system sucks anyway, and we need to emulate Cuba or Canada to get it fixed. That’ll take care of the waste and fraud, won’t it?

If 200,000 people in Clark County are in this program and $30,000,000 was wasted, we need to ask. How much of this largesse was given to illegal immigrants? It’s time Nevada
does a similar bill to Arizona and stops the government benefits to the illegals. $30,000,000 would give the TAXPAYERS
back some of their ridiculous license plate fees. We also need to stop the taxpayer drain from the early retirement
benefits of the government employees in this state. 50 years
old to retire with full benefits and lifetime health care benefits is too much for the TAXPAYERS to pay for. Bring the
mandatory age up to 65 where it belongs so we’re not paying
twice for the same job. How about a bill, Bob?
