Re: Something both Democrats and Republicans can agree on at the Super Committee
Save $200 billion dollars a year, right now, and save $2 Trillion in ten years.
Medicaid beneficiaries unharmed.
The winners: The Super Committee, USA taxpayers, California and 24 other States, NY State's local taxpayers
The losers: crooked state employees, other Medicaid fraudsters/profiteers.
Score unchanged: Medicaid recipients
Dear Congressional Super Debt Committee:
It's been reported you can't find common ground on cuts and that lobbyists of all kinds are lobbying you. I'm an unpaid lobbyist for the People both Democrat, Republican, Tea Party and Occupy. My proposal has been submitted to you earlier and it lowers Medicaid spending, cuts out the Fat Cats feeding on Medicaid, doesn't harm Medicaid needy recipients, shifts responsibility and expenses for Medicaid enforcement to the States. The details have been spelled out for you in several faxes to your Committee, other Congressional committees and members of Congress in the following 8 faxes with links to them at my blog post site:
1. Congressional Super Debt Committee Receives Plan to Reduce Medicaid by $2 Trillion Dollars Without Harming Beneficiaries
2. New York's Non-Profit Fat Cats Fatten On Medicaid And Contribute To Cuomo
3. Super Debt Committee Sent A Fat Cat Medicaid Diet Program And Special Prosecutor Called For
4. Congress Asked For Special Prosecutor To Replace Eric Holder Prosecuting NY Medicaid Fraud
5. The Ready To Go Democrat And Republican Debt Reduction Which Cuts $200 Billion This Year
6. Real Debt Cuts Ready To Go Today; $200 Billion This Year; $2 Trillion In Ten Years; Both Democrats And Republicans Can Support.
7. Deal With Debt Limit With $200 Billion A Year In Real Cuts In Medicaid Which Don't Hurt Beneficiaries
8. Save $2 Trillion Dollars In Federal Budget Right Now And Let Eric Holder Fumble Later With NY State Medicaid Fraud
So your Super Committee knows and lots of other committees in Congress and Congressmen know of this proposal. You have lots of independent data supporting the proposed savings available in the links within the above faxes.
Solution: 1. Let the States rein in their own Fat Cats, nepotism, and the one half million dollars and higher paid executives feeding on public funds covered up with a non-profit label.
2. Save $200 billion dollars a year, right now, and save $2 Trillion in ten years.
In addition, the Super Committee can require all fraudulent prior Medicaid payments to a State to be first deducted from present payments. The Super Committee kicks out the rich fat cats, saves $2 trillion dollars in ten years and succeeds.
Sincerely yours,

Super Debt Committee Sent A Fat Cat Medicaid Diet Program And Special Prosecutor Called For
Fax sent to Congress today: September 20, 2011

Re: Multi-billion dollar fraud:
1. Medicaid must help the medically needy and not the needy NY State non-profit executives.
2. Stop federal funds from feeding Fat Cats hidden in non-profits and reduce the DEBT
3. In NY State a Special Prosecutor is required for the Major Criminal Fraud by NY State officials and others taking billions of dollars a year in federal Medicaid funds. Eric Holder and the NY Offices of the US Attorney have failed to prosecute and obtain refunds. Holder has an 18 year history of covering up for Andrew Cuomo when billions of dollars are missing. Congressional oversight of the Justice Department is needed.
Dear Congressional Super Debt, Oversight and Judicial Committees:
Why should billions of federal dollars fund New York State's failures to remove its Fat Cats feeding on federal funds. Governor Andrew Cuomo has founded his own non-profit which is paying a half million dollars in executive fees to one of his relatives and where his sister is employed.
link to http://cuomotarp.blogspot.com/2011/09/new-yorks-non-profit-fat-cats-fatten-on.html
Medicaid block grants as per my prior fax to Congress would let Governor Cuomo take responsibility to rein in fraud and excess non-profit compensation in NY State.
http://cuomotarp.blogspot.com/2011/09/congressional-super-debt-committee.html
In addition, the Super Committee can require all fraudulent prior Medicaid payments to a State to be first deducted from present payments. As I've previously written to Congress, there is a severe problem in NY State, which has four Federal Court districts, and a conflict of interest by lawyers working for the US Justice Department who may wish to move into the NY private sector at more pay. The Medicaid fraud extracts federal Medicaid funds for non Medicaid uses by the State of New York. Such a fraud would involve the highest levels of NYS Government and with the knowledge of the NYS Attorney General. Eric Holder's Justice Department has not obtained cash refunds to the federal government for the frauds reported below.
1. The Times Union reported, "A federal grand jury is continuing to examine allegations that state Health Department managers may have conspired with the Research Foundation for the state University of New York to manipulate audits of New York's $22 billion a year Medicaid program. .... The investigation is centered on a federally mandated program that requires states to randomly audit their Medicaid programs to determine the rate of ineligible recipients of Medicaid benefits. ... Several people who formerly worked for the Research Foundation have alleged that their audits were deliberately sanitized so that New York state would not be penalized for excessive error rates that could have led to New York being penalized or not receiving all or part of approximately $22 billion in federal matching funds.
http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Were-state-audits-faked-598325.php#ixzz1MeoogW5n
2. "Daily rate for Medicaid patients tops $5,000 in nine institutions in NY and was described as a "cash cow for the State." "Introne, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s liaison, said state officials were working with the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services “to analyze and resolve the matter."
http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/article/20110402/NEWS01/110402002/Daily-rate-for-Medicaid-patients-tops-5-000?odyssey=tab%7Cmostpopular%7Cimg%7CFRONTPAGE
3. It was 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—and uses it to subsidize other areas of the budget."

7. Eric Holder* has known since 1993 of New York State's complicity in defrauding the Federal government since Holder was a US attorney for D.C. and signatory to the "Denoncourt" consent order where New York State paid the U.S. $26.97 Million To settle federal funding fraud.
http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/Pre_96/December94/725.txt.html
8. Holder, as Deputy Attorney General, was covering up for Cuomo for the $17 billion and then $59 billion dollars missing at HUD under Cuomo and his refusal to prosecute despite the recommendation of the the Inspector General and also, the Farkas scandal and the GAO reported HUD mortgage flipping frauds.

http://www.villagevoice.com/2006-08-29/news/andrew-cuomo-s-2-million-man/
Eric Holder must appoint a Special Prosecutor because of 1. his continuing conflicts and the conflicts of Justice department attorneys ; 2. his failure to act on this continuing crime for 18 years by NYS involving the highest levels of NY State government; and 3. his long history of failing to prosecute crimes involving Andrew Cuomo. The NY offices of the US Attorneys have local conflicts which require a Special Prosecutor without ties to local interests and political figures.
Solutions: 1. Use Medicaid block grants to shift the costs of this corruption directly to NY State and eliminate the over twenty years of fraud by NY State in the Medicaid program.
2. Have Eric Holder explain why he has failed to prosecute and obtain refunds, even with a prior "Denoncourt consent decree" signed by Holder at Justice Department years ago. Then ask for a Special Prosecutor.
3. Testimony and data to end this massive fraud within NYS Medicaid and assist in making sure that the proper refunds is public knowledge.
4. Let the states like NY rein in their own Fat Cats, nepotism, and the one half million dollars and higher paid executives feeding on public funds covered up with a non-profit label.
You can call the Bill, "The Fat Cat Medicaid Diet Program."

*In 1988, Ronald Reagan appointed Holder to serve as a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Holder left the bench in 1993 to become US Attorney for the D.C. by Bill Clinton. The Denoncourt action was brought in D.C.. Holder was the US Attorney for D.C. and oversaw the case from 1993 through the settlement order in 1994. In 1997, Clinton nominated Holder to be the Deputy Attorney General.

New York's Non-Profit Fat Cats Fatten On Medicaid And Contribute To Cuomo
"The noble NY Non-Profit Fat Cat takes his fair share first, then shares the rest with the needy politicians and the deserving poor."
 |
| Non-Profit Fat Cat |
Not only NY State itself, but also, NY "non-profits" benefit from NY State's corruption in Medicaid as was reported to the US Congress from this site. Cuomo followed the money and moved his "pay for protection and/or favorable treatment plan" from his attorney general's office to his governorship. Attorney General Cuomo decried "pay to play cash" in the Comptroller's office, while simultaneously Cuomo pocketed the "cleanly laundered" cash from the lawyers of litigants with pending court actions against the State of New York.
The New York Times ran a series of articles on abuses at non-profits and handsome executive compensation. Governor Cuomo responded with his latest "pay for protection" initiative when, "Cuomo recently created a task force of high-level aides to investigate high salaries at nonprofits that receive state funding." Supposedly, these highly paid Cuomo hacks will operate independently of Cuomo fund raising. But the initiative has a stench to it, said Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause/New York. "This is just another way in which having to raise large amounts of money privately can make things uncomfortable after the election is actually won." While non-profits don't make any profits distributed to owners as dividends, they do make profitable income sources for their executives. Within NY State's Medicaid system, the lax enforcement for criminal frauds committed by NY State employees and Non-profit executives encourages corruption. This led to a call for a special prosecutor at the federal level for fraud which has been rampant since 1996 in NY State Medicaid.
The Daily News connected the dots of "giving to Cuomo," Medicaid and getting large compensation with these reports,
"1. George McDonald and two family members, who gave Cuomo a combined $39,500... McDonald is president of The Doe Fund,...The Doe Fund... has won nearly $4 million in state grants on top of another $790,000 from 26 legislative grants....The Doe Fund's latest IRS 990 form states 20 individuals each make more than $100,000 in total compensation, with the top 14 employees paid a combined $2.8 million in 2009....McDonald as president had a total compensation package of $507,156... His wife, Harriet Karr-McDonald ... received $226,503...his son, John McDonald ... was paid $215,542...[also], George McDonald leases office space to the Doe Fund.
2.- Dr. Steven Safyeer, president and CEO of Montefiore Medical Center. Safyeer earned $1.97 million in compensation. He donated $16,000 to Cuomo.
3. Robert Conaty, executive vice president for operations at Montefiore Medical Center. His compensation totaled $1.45 million. He donated $20,000 to Cuomo.
4. Dr. Herbert Pardes, CEO of New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Pardes' compensation was $2.8 million. He donated $12,000 to Cuomo.
5. David Rich, executive vice president for the Greater New York Hospital Association. Rich earned $1.1 million in total compensation He has donated $67,000 to Cuomo."
Non-profit feeding at the government trough has been a profitable family business for the Cuomos. "The ...boss of a nonprofit group founded by Gov. Cuomo, ...Help USA's President and CEO Laurence Belinsky recently gave up his $500,000 annual salary to pursue private housing development...Cuomo founded the outfit in 1986. It provides services to the homeless and receives city, state and federal funding [keeping the business within the Cuomo public/private family]. Cuomo reportedly pocketed $60,000 a year when he was at the helm...Cuomo's sister, Maria Cuomo Cole, is the chairwoman of Help USA. Belinsky, is said to be married to one of Cuomo's cousins."
Will the Cuomo family non-profit(s) be examined for excess compensation, nepotism and Medicaid fraud, too?

Congressional Super Debt Committee Receives Plan to Reduce Medicaid by $2 Trillion Dollars Without Harming Beneficiaries
A Fax sent to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction on Sunday evening September 11, 2011
To: Sen. Patty Murray, Co-Chairwoman Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction; Sen. Max Baucus of Montana; Sen. John Kerry; Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona; Sen. Pat Toomey; Sen.Rob Portman and
Rep. Jeb Hensarling, Co-Chairman Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction; Rep.Fred Upton; Rep. Jim Clyburn; Rep. Dave Camp; Rep.Xavier Becerra; Rep. Chris Van Hollen.
Re: Proposed law for Easy Debt Reduction with Medicaid beneficiaries unharmed. Save $200 billion dollars a year, right now, and reduce the need to borrow and save $2 Trillion in ten years.
The winners: USA taxpayers, California and 24 other States, NY State's local taxpayers
The losers: crooked state employees, other Medicaid fraudsters/profiteers.
Score unchanged: Medicaid recipients
Honorable Senators and Representatives on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction and others in Congress:
Senator Kerry asked for suggestions to reduce debt. Obama wants you to reduce debt by an additional $450 billion dollars and wasn't specific, leaving the details to your committee. But this proposal is specific. Here is a plan to reduce debt right now, with $200 billion this year and $2 trillion in ten years. Since neither Republicans, nor Democrats need or want to fund Medicaid fraud, this Committee can cut $200 billion a year without harming the needy on Medicaid. Medicaid block grants will shift responsibility for fraud control to the States. Andrew Cuomo and Eric Holder are knowledgeable of the billions of dollars frauds reported below. And you would reward California, as well as saving municipal and local/county New York State taxpayers the cost of matching the fraudulent money taken.
The Wall Street Journal reported how $1 billion disappeared in one part of NY Medicaid fraud; "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."
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704013604576247300936116610.html?mod=WSJ_NY_LEFTTopStories
Proposed law: Each state shall receive a block grant for all said state's Medicaid costs determined by multiplying the number of Medicaid recipients in the year 2010 in said State by the average of the rates paid in 2010 year to the 25th and 26th ranked states when all the states are ranked in order by their average Medicaid per recipient of federally received Medicaid money.
Such Medicaid block grants at the median rate of the present Medicaid grants would save $200 billion a year ($2 trillion dollars in ten years) and shift responsibility for overcharges, frauds and other misuse of Medicaid funds to the individual States. In example: in New York State, let Andrew 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]."
http://governmentrico.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/nys-22-billion-dollar-medicaid-fraud-nys-health-department-and-research-foundation-for-state-university-of-new-york-suny/
"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."
http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Feds-probing-Medicaid-fraud-at-SUNY-firm-557890.php
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 of State employees in federal court. A State like California and 24 others would benefit from this change.
http://cuomotarp.blogspot.com/2011/05/congress-asked-to-seek-special.html
With block grants, beneficiaries would be unharmed as money received is comparable and greater than in 25 states, such as California. Medicaid benefits per individual would remain above the amount paid in California, which State we know is not stingy with helping the needy, The spendthrift States could then police their own Medicaid expenditures, while federal dollars for federal investigations and funding for the Justice Department investigations would be reduced.
This letter is a condensed recap of an earlier post on CuomoTARP.blogspot.com entitled, Deal With Debt Limit With $200 Billion A Year In Real Cuts In Medicaid Which Don't Hurt Beneficiaries which is included with this fax and has links for confirming data. Another post, dated July 5, 2011, was sent to Congress and dealt with the need for Federal prosecution to get back the money already stolen: Save $2 Trillion Dollars In Federal Budget Right Now And Let Eric Holder Fumble Later With NY State Medicaid Fraud
Witnesses available.

Re: Proposed law for Easy Debt Reduction with Medicaid beneficiaries unharmed. Save $200 billion dollars a year, right now, and reduce the need to borrow and save $2 Trillion in ten years.
The winners: USA taxpayers, California and 24 other States, NY State's local taxpayers
The losers: crooked state employees, other Medicaid fraudsters/profiteers.
Score unchanged: Medicaid recipients
Honorable Senators and Representatives on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction and others in Congress:
Senator Kerry asked for suggestions to reduce debt. Obama wants you to reduce debt by an additional $450 billion dollars and wasn't specific, leaving the details to your committee. But this proposal is specific. Here is a plan to reduce debt right now, with $200 billion this year and $2 trillion in ten years. Since neither Republicans, nor Democrats need or want to fund Medicaid fraud, this Committee can cut $200 billion a year without harming the needy on Medicaid. Medicaid block grants will shift responsibility for fraud control to the States. Andrew Cuomo and Eric Holder are knowledgeable of the billions of dollars frauds reported below. And you would reward California, as well as saving municipal and local/county New York State taxpayers the cost of matching the fraudulent money taken.
The Wall Street Journal reported how $1 billion disappeared in one part of NY Medicaid fraud; "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."
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704013604576247300936116610.html?mod=WSJ_NY_LEFTTopStories
Proposed law: Each state shall receive a block grant for all said state's Medicaid costs determined by multiplying the number of Medicaid recipients in the year 2010 in said State by the average of the rates paid in 2010 year to the 25th and 26th ranked states when all the states are ranked in order by their average Medicaid per recipient of federally received Medicaid money.
Such Medicaid block grants at the median rate of the present Medicaid grants would save $200 billion a year ($2 trillion dollars in ten years) and shift responsibility for overcharges, frauds and other misuse of Medicaid funds to the individual States. In example: in New York State, let Andrew 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]."
http://governmentrico.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/nys-22-billion-dollar-medicaid-fraud-nys-health-department-and-research-foundation-for-state-university-of-new-york-suny/
"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."
http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Feds-probing-Medicaid-fraud-at-SUNY-firm-557890.php
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 of State employees in federal court. A State like California and 24 others would benefit from this change.
http://cuomotarp.blogspot.com/2011/05/congress-asked-to-seek-special.html
With block grants, beneficiaries would be unharmed as money received is comparable and greater than in 25 states, such as California. Medicaid benefits per individual would remain above the amount paid in California, which State we know is not stingy with helping the needy, The spendthrift States could then police their own Medicaid expenditures, while federal dollars for federal investigations and funding for the Justice Department investigations would be reduced.
This letter is a condensed recap of an earlier post on CuomoTARP.blogspot.com entitled, Deal With Debt Limit With $200 Billion A Year In Real Cuts In Medicaid Which Don't Hurt Beneficiaries which is included with this fax and has links for confirming data. Another post, dated July 5, 2011, was sent to Congress and dealt with the need for Federal prosecution to get back the money already stolen: Save $2 Trillion Dollars In Federal Budget Right Now And Let Eric Holder Fumble Later With NY State Medicaid Fraud
Witnesses available.

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."

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.
