Re: Save $2 trillion dollars in Federal Budget right now and let Eric Holder fumble later with NY State Medicaid Fraud. Follow up with links to the criminal investigation for recovering NY State's Institutionalized Medicaid fraud.
Dear Congress:
NY State's corrupt stealing of Medicaid funds has gone on for years, since before 1994. "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 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 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 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.
