Re: NYTimes.com: Governor Plans Agency to Fight Medicaid Fraud

NY State's Medicaid expenditure was the single largest budgeted item in
the state budget. My question is how much the agency is going to cost
the taxpayors as bureaucracy tends to beget more bureaucracy. As this
is Pataki's last year, this will be either a gift that keeps on giving
or, quite possibly, the gift that keeps on taking. Either way, medicaid
fraud is NOT the source of NY's rising medicaid costs.
