Rick Scott: “New York was the worst performing unit compared to other…”

“Mister, Mr. Ingram, the HHS office of the Inspector General recently decertified New York's Medicaid Fraud control Unit due to a year long failure to do its job. Despite receiving over $60 million annually and having a staff of 270 people, New York was the worst performing unit compared to other states. This office was only able to secure 85 fraud convictions from 20 to 25. When the newest next lowest scoring state had 237 convictions, almost three times more.” (04:10–04:14)
