One thought on “Over one year, Medicaid paid more than $207M for dead people. A new law could help fix that.

  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.
