Compounded with the secrecy, lack of regulation, stripping of civil rights, non-existence due process and the inherent contemporaneous conflicts of interests embedded deeply in CAPTA and ASFA in dealing with the States Attorney General, the Medicaid Fraud Control Units, the exclusive civil penalties of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the sequestering of federal authority of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the fact that authorization of billing is a judicial determination that has only been challenged by me, nothing is going to ever be done.
But, alas, I have omitted the best parts of why Michigan, which was the first state to create its model of human trafficking.
It re-animated the Michigan Children's Institute, a former, and actual, brick and mortar building in less than 18 months of CAPTA to "capture" lost revenue from the oil embargo moments of the mid-1970s,
Then, Michigan went on to breathe life back into its brick and mortar of MCI to
give birth to a theoretical, institutional model of child trafficking, and it was all billable to Medicaid, with everyone who participated receiving a beautifully woven cloak of immunity.
Yes, this immunity means anyone in the child welfare system has the "Right To Lie" even though it subsequently ruled that it did not, but, heck, who is going to enforce the ruling when I just pointed out the deficiencies in the rules of construction with both CAPTA and ASFA, in all three branches.
Besides, this lawsuit which is still before Judge Edmonds, has never, not one, nope, ever mentioned Michigan Children's Institute or Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare, but I have and you can either read it in the preserved court record or click the links, below.
The Lansing State Journal pulled its top statements from the hearing transcripts.
Now, I pull mine and Nick Lyon is probably not doing very well, right about now.
Herman McCall is probably not feeling well, either.
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Nick Lyon:
As you know, improving our child welfare system to better protect children and to meet the benchmarks was a top priority for my predecessor, Maura Corrigan. I'm here today to reiterate what an important priority this is for me, and also is a top priority for my boss. What our Children's Services Agency does is a critically important part of the MDHHS mission; to provide opportunities, services, and programs, to promote a healthy, safe and stable environment for residents to be self sufficient.
Here's what DHHS told a federal judge about falsification allegations (annotated)
LANSING - Monitors appointed by a federal judge and Oversight Committee chairmen in the Legislature have said they will investigate allegations — first reported by the State Journal — that state child welfare supervisors manipulated employee caseload data to make Michigan appear in compliance with a court order.
The State Journal's reports documented allegations from current and former state workers in Ingham, Barry, Marquette, Monroe, Muskegon, St. Clair and Wayne counties. Workers said supervisors are under intense pressure to get out from under the terms of a decade-old federal lawsuit filed by a New York advocacy group over a string of child deaths.
The Michigan Department of Health & Human Services gave its first substantive answers to the allegations on June 8, during a previously scheduled hearing on the federal lawsuit.
