Friend,

This week's Taxpayer's Tab: The Phantom Pharmacy.

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN [[link removed]]

No prior authorization. No real prescriptions. Just invoices, kickbacks, and a payment system that looked away while $178 million walked out the door.

This isn't a clerical error. It's not a rounding mistake buried in a budget line. It's nearly a quarter-billion dollars in fraudulent claims, run for 11 straight months, against a program meant for people who can't afford care — and nobody stopped it until federal prosecutors did the work that should have happened in real time.

That's the problem. By the time a guilty plea makes headlines, the money is already gone.

The only way to stop the next Monte Vista Pharmacy is to expose the gaps before they're exploited — and that takes someone willing to dig through the court filings, the inspector general reports, and the procurement records nobody else is reading.

That's our job. We need your help to keep doing it.
