Over 1300 payments have been made to Medicaid managed care organizations (MCO's) to accounts of deceased. This happened because Kansas recorded a different date of death than the official date of death.
"Every penny that the government spends, whether it is our city, schools, county, state, or federal government, that penny was not created by the state, rather it was taken from the people in the form of taxation or fees," State Senator Hilderbrand said in an emailed statement. "The people of Kansas have entrusted the state government to spend their hard-earned tax dollars wisely and appropriately. Unfortunately, as with anything the government does, the government is failing in this area."

[Were wrong death dates a simple mistake, or a deliberate way of stealing funds? The wrong payments constituted better than 11% of the audit. Can 11% be simple mistakes? It is time to no longer entrust government.]
