Justice Dept Targets NY Medicaid Contract

The Justice Department is suing New York officials and a Georgia-based company over a $10 billion Medicaid home care contract, accusing them of rigging the bidding process to funnel taxpayer money into private pockets. The lawsuit alleges that the state’s push to consolidate home care services led to widespread fraud, with the company allegedly inflating hourly rates to siphon millions in extra profits while failing to deliver promised savings or care. Governor’s office calls it a political hit job, but federal prosecutors are determined to hold accountable those who allegedly defrauded the system.
