Description

As Congress and state leaders continue debating healthcare reform, advocates for Americans with disabilities are urging lawmakers to crack down on Medicaid fraud without harming the vulnerable people who rely on the program every day.

Barkley argues that protecting the integrity of Medicaid is essential to ensuring resources remain available for those truly dependent on the program, emphasizing that accountability and compassion can — and must — go hand in hand.
