State workers accused of ripping off Medicaid

Seven San Antonio area residents who worked for state handling Medicaid claims submitted hundreds of false claims in the names of friends and relatives, then split the money with them, according to an indictment. All told, they got off with about $212,000, authorities say. The seven got a wake-up call from federal agents with guns drawn.

There is more fraud and corruption in the government agencies than you could clean up in a lifetime! There are Too many people drawing disability that should not be. Today you do not have to have worked a day, but you can draw a disability check??? Children who have both parents working, drawing checks???? Persons drawing SS and Never worked a day in their lives. What happened to the day when family took care of their own??

Fraud, stealing has become a way of life for so many involving the government. Especially disability incomes. What a shame!! These that are accountable should be tried, convicted, sentenced to long long terms (where they'll get free housing) and never ever again be paid another penny of government asistance.
