False Claims Complaint On Medicaid Fraud In Florida

I have contended from day one of the filing of the multistate lawsuit against health care overhaul that there was a nasty, subversive reason for its filing.

This is not political; it is fraud, Medicaid fraud.  

It has nothing to do with getting less coverage, nor does it have to do with increased taxation.  There are no concerns with the nation affording the new healthcare system, nor are there any concerns of businesses absorbing increased costs.  It has to do with covering up Medicaid fraud.

Here we have Attorney General Bill McCollum leading the charge to challenge the nation's healthcare restructuring.

Background

The lawsuit argues that Congress does not have the constitutional authority to require all U.S. residents to obtain health insurance and that states cannot be forced to spend more to provide coverage for low-income families.

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum (R) filed the complaint in March, shortly after the law was enacted, with support from 19 other mostly Republican state attorneys general and the National Federation of Independent Business.

The lawsuit against healthcare reform has to do with protecting the insurance industrial complex because Medicaid fraud in itself, is a multibillion dollar industry, guarded by the sleeping giant I call the States Medicaid Fraud Control Units.
