A decade after Judicial Watch reported that Medicaid, the
government’ s fraud-infested health insurance program for the needy,
spent $26 million to provide dead people in one state alone with
benefits, a federal audit reveals the problem continues full-throttle
with hundreds of millions of dollars in “unallowable payments” on
behalf of “deceased enrollees.” It is an unbelievable story that
illustrates government inefficiency, especially when it involves
welfare programs. The waste has been well documented for many years,
yet little has been done to correct the problem. With an annual budget
of about $900 billion Medicaid is jointly funded by federal and state
governments. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
administers the program at the federal level and states have
CMS-approved plans to run their Medicaid programs, which provide
low-income residents with medical coverage. In some states the
government contracts with insurance companies and makes fixed monthly
payments to provide coverage.
