Illinois is outsourcing part of its Medicaid program to a company that is under a federal grand jury investigation in Louisiana, was disqualified from bidding in Arkansas, was ushered out of Maine and has been the subject of complaints in Utah.

The black marks against the company, including its firing in Louisiana in March, haven't deterred Illinois officials, who say they are confident of their recently announced plan to use the company's services through a partnership with Michigan.



Any comments will come to me privately.  If they add to the conversation - whether I agree with them or not - I will post them.  If they are full of discord and wrath or are not grounded in sound facts, I will NOT post them.  It's my blog.  Be civil or be quiet.  I love a good political conversation; I abhor tactless arguments.  I admire folks who can talk politics - or religion - and remain respectful.

I also invite you to my other blog, TheTravelersTwo.blogspot.com, for a break from politics.
