Medicaid Authorization Florida: Fill & Download for Free

How do you feel about Mitch McConnell saying that we now need to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to fix the 1 trillion per year deficit created by tax cuts?I never did like McConnell or his increasing abuse of power. Being a senior citizen his statement about cutting entitlements because of the tax cuts really made my blood pressure go up.With all the unnecessary expenses that the taxpayers have had to pay that the president and his family has accrued, the violations of the big spender-in-chief's emolument clause enriching himself, his robbing Peter to pay Paul for his wall then needing more money for the agencies he robbed, like FEMA. Of all the wasteful spending by the big spender-in-chief the administration has the nerve to say that the entitlements are are the reason for the deficit.The charge that the entitlements are the big cause of the deficit is a big lie. A big part of running up the deficit is the huge tax cuts for the millionaires, billionaires, huge corporations (who hide their money in off shore accounts). Approximately 29 detention centers are in use with a privately run companies GEO running about 17 centers and numerous others are running about 12 of them. All are under the authority of ICE.Example : The Homestead facility in Florida for children was supposed to be temporary with a capacity of 1,000. This facility was given a contract that was a hush-hush no bid deal.Rather than close it, as activists have demanded, the feds just gave the operator, Comprehensive Health Services, a brand new contract — one worth $341 million.At the time I researched this information earlier in 2019 there were 2,300 children in the camp and the company is getting $775 per day per child. You do the math! Wait, I will do it for you. $775.00 times 2,300 equals 1.7825 million a day or 683.4625 million a year! This is the money that is being spent for just one facility but there is an estimated 29 detention centers.By the time the contract — the latest in a series of short-term deals — runs out in November, CHS will have earned more than half a billion dollars for housing migrant children, a figure that inflames critics while advocates say it is justified by an out-of-control influx on the southern border. The dollar total could rise still higher since the payment escalates if the number of youths increases, as is expected.Note that Homestead is in Florida not on the southern border. Also note that CHS stands for Comprehensive Health Services who had to pay $3.8M for allegedly double billing IRS, but they are put in charge of children by a no bid contract for $341 million, nice reward for double billing U.S. programs.So these detention centers are costing more money than if the government just deported them instead of housing them in cages which is costing taxpayers billions a day for just one camp. And latest news is they will be detained for an unspecified length of time. What does that mean? 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? Forever?----------So now the Republicans want to take away or give you less money in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid because the National Debt is 22 trillion and climbing. So you will be suffering by getting less when you retire or need Medicare for yourself or child.Donald Trump won’t say it, but Republicans in the Senate will: Social Security and Medicare would be on the chopping block in a second Trump term.Pointing to rising deficits, Republican senators have all but promised to gut entitlements if Trump gets four more years. In other words the Republicans want to steal all the money that for years the working people have been paying into for their entitlements for health and retirement in their old age. It is our money they want to take away!Trump's Second-Term Plan For Social Security: Starve The BeastAm I mad? Damn right I am, not only for myself but for every person that is or will be depending on their entitlements just as I am.

What happens if you don’t report income change to Medicaid?It’s illegal, like under reporting income to the IRS. What will happen?Probably nothing. The federal government traditionally is not into policing Medicaid and Medicare fraud, whether from fraudulent billing or individuals lying about their income to qualify for Medicaid.This is the problem with federal programs, the lack of oversight and accountability. It’s always someone else’s money.Medicare Fraud Costs Taxpayers More Than $60 Billion Each YearOr there was the 2010 story in which federal officials charged 94 people with $251 million in phony claims.The problem isn’t new. Federal officials set up the Medicare Fraud Strike Force in 2007, which visited at random nearly 1,600 businesses in Miami, ground zero for Medicare fraud, that had billed Medicare for durable medical equipment. Officials found that nearly a third of the businesses, 481, didn’t even exist, yet they had billed Medicare for $237 million over the previous year, according to National Public Radio.Indeed, scamming Medicare and Medicaid is so lucrative that the Russian and Nigerian mobs have gotten involved. And one of the New York crime families has moved to Florida because defrauding Medicare is both more lucrative and less dangerous than some of the traditional organized crime activities.And Medicaid is just as bad, or worse. New York City has been a huge problem for Medicaid with one former official suggesting that 40 percent of NYC’s Medicaid payments are “questionable. ” The New York Times, in a multi-story expose several years ago, reported that a Brooklyn dentist had filed 991 claims in one day.And while every state struggles with Medicaid fraud, the Office of Inspector General says the five topping the list are California, Texas, New York, Ohio and Kentucky. The good news is that states recovered $1.7 billion in fraudulent payments in 2011. The bad news is the government had to spend $208 million to do it.Federal authorities boast of recovering $4.1 billion in 2011 from fraudulent activity, but again spent millions of dollars to recover it.How much Medicare and Medicaid fraud is there? No one knows for sure. In 2010 the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report claiming to have identified $48 billion in what it termed as “improper payments.” That’s nearly 10 percent of the $500 billion in outlays for that year. However, others, including U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, suggest that there is an estimated $60 to $90 billion in fraud in Medicare and a similar amount for Medicaid. Big money!Medicare And Medicaid Fraud Is Costing Taxpayers Billions

Here are two excerpts from award-winning (Tampa Tribune) investigative reporter, Craig Pittman, from his 2016 book titled “Oh, Florida! — How America’s Weirdest State Influences the Rest of the Country.”page 100, paragraph 2"Sometimes the illegality is widespread. During the 2015 legislative session, the House adjourned three days early without a budget, which the supreme court said violated the constitution. The Senate admitted that the maps it created for redistricting were illegal, too. Then, Gov. Rick Scott admitted illegally hiding public records -- and used $700,000 in public funds to pay a settlement to the attorney who'd caught him doing it. The only ones penalized for all this were the taxpayers."page 106, paragraphs 2 and 3:"For me, Scott has been a bonanza of bizarre, in large part because before he was elected to the state's top job, Scott had zero experience in politics.He's a wealthy man, the founder of a hospital chain that eventually pleaded guilty to fourteen corporate felonies and paid more than $1 billion in fines, the largest penalty for Medicaid and Medicare fraud in history. Scott, who contended he didn't know what his underlings were up to, had resigned his post by the time the indictments came out. He was never charged. But during a civil court deposition, he pled the Fifth Amendment seventy-five times, a fact brought up repeatedly by opponents in both his campaigns."[The author also wonders how a Republican was elected (twice) as Governor in a state where the majority of registered voters are Democrats.]Voter Registration - By Party Affiliation[
