Please contact your elected official and oppose Graham-Cassidy, the latest Republican incarnation to destroy OBAMACARE.
It's time for MEDICARE FOR ALL!
Every American deserves HEALTH CARE!
States and their “revenue maximization” contractors are diverting billions in Medicaid funds from the poor, and now the Graham-Cassidy bill seeks to increase the misuse.
As detailed in "The Poverty Industry," states have been working with contractors to develop illusory practices to divert billions in Medicaid and other federal aid from the poor to state general coffers and private profit - using children and the poor as a revenue stream rather than serving their best interests. Efforts to curtail the schemes were increasing. But now, the new Graham-Cassidy Bill seeks to help states divert and misuse even more federal aid - by "block granting" all of the money to states and letting them do what they want with the money. The bill would cause vast waste and misuse of public dollars and harm America’s most vulnerable citizens – impoverished children, struggling families, and the disabled and elderly poor.

“During this 26 minute conversation Professor Hatcher discusses his motivations for writing the book, defines ‘poverty's iron triangle,’ explains how state foster care and Medicaid agencies, with the help of private contractors, monetize poverty for state financial gain, explains how states attempt to reason this behavior and offers solutions for how this malfeasance can be ‘reeled in.’”
