A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
This is all about giant afsme political payback for rauner trying to outscource medicaid billing, which afsme fought tooth & nail. Mendoza was quick to declair a flop. Even thow many other states out scource billing. meanwhile look a what s disaster cc workers(i believe they are afsme)are doing running countycare
Outsourced medicaid HMO’s seem to be working, at least from my perspective. Hospitals seem to be performing far fewer unnecessary treatments on medicaid patients these days. The days of the full CT/MRI workup for a minor fender bender or work place injury are over. If you seem OK, then you are discharged and referred to your primary care physician for follow up. I’ve seen ER bills for $300 come across my desk. $300 bills that’s like 1980’s pricing. Personal injury attorneys don’t seem to happy about it though.
