One area to look for fraud is with the Medicaid providers and others with the Medicaid...

There is a complete lack of reporting, collection, and verification of meaningful data in Medicaid.

It seems to me that there is a real problem in that we aren't asking the right questions.

In order for States to ensure the appropriate use of taxpayer dollars, they must be able and willing to collect the data that shows how much is paid in a claim, for what, and to whom.

I commend this committee for taking up this important issue about saving the expenditure of the people's money.

We have not conducted for decades independent third-party audits of the States.

many poor were left untreated because of the situation in Minnesota

This is a problem that appears to be happening all across the Country.

We actually had providers contacting our office and telling us they were not receiving the amounts of money under Medicaid.

ObamaCare does not reform the Medicaid program; rather, it expands it by 20 million people and by nearly $1 trillion over the next 10 years.

What we found is that in the last 20 years there had been no verifiable, independent, third-party audit done of Medicaid money.
