5 States Top Medicaid Fraud list, States Recover $1.7B

States recovered $1.7 billion through Medicaid fraud and patient abuse investigations and enforcements of civil and criminal cases, the Office of Inspector General reported last week.

The Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCUs) investigate and prosecute fraud, as well as patient abuse and neglect at healthcare facilities. In fiscal year 2011, MFCUs conducted 10,685 Medicaid fraud investigations and saw 824 convictions. MFCUs conducted 4,134 investigations into patient abuse and neglect, including patient funds cases, and saw 406 convictions.

The federal and state government spent a combined $208.6 million on MFCUs. The OIG reported that return on investments translated to $8.39 for every $1 that the federal and state governments spent to operate the MFCUs.

MFCUs recovered the highest amounts from California, Texas, New York, Ohio and Kentucky in 2011, according to OIG data.

Sweet Jeezus in the Blue-Eyed, Jumped Up Morning!

How could this have happened when California is Home to the Illuminati Themselves?

And America was Paying Dr FG Illuminati Lu $181,600 a year to sit on his duff and Watch the Wizard of Oz FOR America.

How could this have gotten past those Racially Biased/Culturally Competent Siskel and Eberts scarfing up all that Money which belongs to your Great-Great Grandchildren to peddle a Political, Eugenic Mind Disease to EVERY child in SF at the behest of RWJF/J&J/Risperdal?

Start with our label San Francisco to find out.

When you feed an army of Humanist, Psychological Quacks to mainstream MK-ULTRA, FRAUD, Chronic Diseases, Death, and Bankruptcy is All you'll ever get in return.

We Have a Constitution. Subjecting it to endless "Interpretations and Nuances" is how this happens. See our series on California Diversion Programs.

To make these Diversion Programs actually Lawful, you need to actually Repeal the 14th Amendment, or Repeal Psychiatry itself: neither of which have actually been Repealed, yet.
