@KingofBones1 That was not what they were trying to get in for given their lack of concern for results the sytem produced the last couple decades. They were there to interfere in the financial assessment. Period.

@BrandNewMan what they need to do is they need to do the surgeries with a scalpel and not an axe see unfortunately when we have what's called knee-jerk reactions that's never good for anyone well we need to do is sit down and devise an effective strategy for eliminating waste and curbing fraud without destroying the lives of the people who really need to help and Assistance or that the money is doing good for it's kind of like the old adage you don't cure a headache by chopping off the head
