Re: Debt reduction.  Save $200 billion dollars a year right now and reduce the need to borrow this money, right now, and save $2 Trillion in ten years.  The USA gains;  California gains; New York crooks lose.

Honorable Harry Reid, John A. Boehner and others in Congress:
          Right now, $200 billion this year and $2 trillion in ten years.  Neither Republicans, nor Democrats need or want to fund Medicaid fraud. It's time to stop these grandstanding predictions of spending cuts in the future, instead cut $200 billion a year, beginning right now. All the data has been collected.  Cuomo and Eric Holder are knowledgeable of this.  And this would benefit California.

Here's one example how $1 billion disappeared in one part of NY Medicaid fraud as reported in Wall Street Journal that, "The state spends $700 million a year to house about 1,400 disabled people in the facilities. But it bills Medicaid more than three times that amount. By taking advantage of federal matching funds,the state pockets approximately $1 billion extra every year on just this one item—and uses it to subsidize other areas of the budget."

     Medicaid block grants at the median rate of the present Medicaid grants would save $200 billion a year, while letting Cuomo deal with the NY State crooked employees already known to him. NY State's corrupt stealing of Medicaid funds has gone on for years, since before 1994. As described in prior faxes: "In the case of NY, the Feds keep auditing NYS for fraud. The frauds keep getting bigger and bigger and more and more secretive. While NYS gets fined time and time again, the people running the fraud from the safety of their administrative offices and are under the protection of the NYS Attorney General who uses taxpayer money to defend these white collar government criminals who were ripping off the [Federal government]."

"The scandal reaches into the upper levels of management for the SUNY Research Foundation and the state Health Department, according to sources briefed on the case. At stake is more than $22 billion in annual matching federal funds for Medicaid. "

Instead of waiting for Eric Holder, aka Gidot, to act, block grants at the present median rate would shift criminal prosecution responsibility to NY State, where Andrew Cuomo and the new AG, Scheiderman, can act as prosecutors, instead of defending the criminal conduct. A State like California would benefit from this change.  A quick action by Congress on a Medicaid funding change would save federal taxpayers $200 billion a year without affecting services to present beneficiaries and would eliminate massive fraudulent billing of Medicaid. In addition, it would save NY local taxpayers $32 billion dollars spent matching fraudulent NY State Medicaid claims.
