IBM Program to cut $ 900B in Medicare waste not needed sez Obama.
The pharmaceutical lobby, ambulance chasing lawyers, and social justice crowd prevail once again. Sorry Big Blue, technology is little more than a passing fad and besides, we don't wish to 'spreadsheet' SOCIAL JUSTICE and CAMPAIGN FUNDING. No more idea fairy stuff please. Obama and cadre know how to handle money. We'll call you.

#1  Corruption. Hey IBM. Go ahead and setup the Congresional Budget Office with the program. Let them and the House know where the corruption is. Then lets put it all over Fox over and over again until 2012 election day.

#2  I have worked in civil service for over 10 years now and there is a staggering amount of waste and fraud. Being a database person I can tell you that once you gather the information it is VERY easy to identify waste and fraud. Too bad the President wont take IBMs offer.

#3  Too bad the President wont take IBMs offer.

Of course not, because a LOT of that "waste" and "fraud" [wink, wink] wind up in the right folks pockets.

#4  One of the dirty secrets of Medicare is the fraud. Liberals like to crow that Medicare is "more efficient" than private health insurance carriers, and if you look at their respective administrative expenses it's true: the reason is, Medicare employs few people dedicated to rooting out fraud and improper claims, whereas your average private carrier has whole departments dedicated to that.

#7  Obama turned down IBM's offer to elimiate waste and fraud because the meeting was about automating the WH March Madness Bracket Pool.

#8  Truly awful court decision.

Blogger writes about man involved in high level mortgage fraud, who has been hired by U of Minn. Fraud is fired, then sues blogger and wins $60,000 judgment on grounds of "tortious interference with employment."
