See, if someone reports fraud online, then, with all the damn privatization, outsourcing contract fraud of administrative databases and programs, a complaint can be intercepted and the whistleblower targeted.
Then, of course, you have those who will just report to be reporting for whatever reason, with issues that do not fall under the perview of HHS OIG. with no system of referral to the proper investigative division, clogging up the fraud reporting system.
HHS OIG came out with some pretty good guidlines for reporting fraud.
See, Medicaid fraud in child welfare is normally under artificial gag policies, where an original parent can have parental rights terminated for reporting fraud.
That is not good, but it happens all the time.
One of the most favorite techniques for going after whistleblowers is to disrupt the family with Child Protective Services.
Remember, this is not about the parents, it is about the children and this is why I believe HHS OIG updated its guidelines for those with no money for justice to blow the whistle.
Thank you for the acknowledgment that "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) are whistleblowers and deserve protection, too.
I have so many models to implement, databases to synch and policies to strip.
Oh, and Dan, you still suck.
