  1. Before the naysayers scream, this is a measly 0.0125% of Medicaid spending. Maybe they should pay more attention to hospital systems and doctors who routinely cheat by hundreds or thousands of times more money.

    1. What adds up is the amount of tax cuts and the resultant inequality. But keep thinking fraud is the problem. That’s exactly what they want you to think.
