Palin's Administration Left Hundreds Of Alaskan Medicare Clients' To Die While Waiting For Treatment?

FDL reports ~ Sarah Palin’s Medicaid Scandal: Letting People Die While Waiting
By: Scarecrow

The Anchorage Daily News just broke a story about a scandal in Alaska's administration of its Medicaid program. It seems federal auditors have suspended new entry into the program because of gross mismanagement by Alaska officials that was leaving hundreds untreated and may have resulted in over 200 deaths while patients were waiting for treatment.

Thanks to the gods for the audit. That the agency was criminally run doesn't make the system rotten.

It will highlight what needs to be addressed when a public option is in place.
