Renee L. Ellmers: “As long as there are Americans who are dying, this is an issue.”

It makes absolutely no sense. You are talking about logic and facts, and unfortunately, many times those things do not fit into what we do here.

These disturbing revelations point to a real policy need to address the holes in this vital safety net program and facilitate improvements to care among our nation's most vulnerable.

That certainly doesn't mean that there was fraud perpetrated. It just means that there are inconsistencies and those inconsistencies need to be addressed.

While I generally support the bills under consideration today by the Subcommittee aimed at improving Medicaid patient access to care, I very much believe there is a missing component in this discussion.
