What I’m Reading: USA Today

 
More evidence that the privatization of Medicaid (and Medicare) never saves the money politicians say it will. In this case, they tried to hide the money they pulled from the Feds to pay the Medicaid Managed Care firms. God forbid if the insurance companies lose money. That $225M was the "add on" or additional cost over the cost of traditional Medicaid. It is enough to make a sane person storm the castle. Someone has to stop this bullshit. Our nation has been completely coopted by greedy, corrupt politicians.
