MACDONALD: Becket Academy in NH and Medicaid Reimbursement

I am not saying there is fraud, just that something seems odd. Becket Academy Inc., Becket Family Services, and New Treks are listed as foreign nonprofit corporations based in Orford, NH (via a PO Box). See also, LIFECONNECTIONS SPECIALIZED SUPPORT SERVICES (Active). “community-based residential, day, and behavioral health services to youth and adults.” A Second … Read more

SMITH: At what Price Should NH Sell its Liberty?

On the heels of the executive council blocking an extension of that rent-seeking Gordon-Darby contract, it was pointed out that NH receives $330M of federal highway money each year.  Sure, that’s a lot of money, but I still say “so what.”  This isn’t the first rodeo, so to speak, with NH and DC.  One could … Read more

MACDONALD: More Somali Medicaid Fraud

Talk about a double tap. We’ve got illegal immigrants committing crimes, Americans most certainly will do, while simultaneously proving there is massive fraud in the Medicaid System. If I recall correctly, before caving, Senate Democrats shut the government down, demanding that taxpayers give up their hard-earned dollars to provide health care to illegals. That was … Read more

MACDONALD: The Fraud We Elected Trump to Fix

As you contemplate the complication of the Schumer shutdown, don’t forget that there were millions of illegals tapping the EBT system for food and fun—at least 1.5 million. According to the USDA, the noncitizens include “lawful permanent residents, refugees, asylees, those granted a stay of deportation, and undocumented individuals… Undocumented individuals are not eligible to receive SNAP … Read more

Klar: Are Weight Loss Drugs Worth the Costs and Risks?

Helping people with eating disorders is a laudable goal, but there remain unknown health risks associated with a clutch of new weight loss drugs, and significant costs.

MacDonald: Dems Chose Fraud Over Senior Citizens

One of the revelations from my most recent not-quite-a-podcast podcast interview with Phil Kerpen was the Medicaid fraud situation. There’s a lot of fraud, and the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), now known as the One Big Beautiful Law (or the One Big Beautiful Act or OBBA), takes a chainsaw to numerous Medicare scams. First, … Read more

Cardello: Democrats Do Not Legislate, Instead They Lie

I will concede that politicians are not a trustworthy breed. They lie about their past to enhance their present. Ask Senator Dick Bluementhal (D-CT) about his tour in Vietnam. They distort their party affiliation to make themselves attractive to more people. Ask Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat candidate for mayor of New York City, who says … Read more

The Medicaid Alarm is Ringing

Two years ago this week, we warned legislators that a day of reckoning was coming for Medicaid.  “Any discussion of expanding Medicaid coverage or eligibility should start with the understanding that current spending levels are unsustainable, and increasing those levels just accelerates the date of reckoning,” we wrote. With Congress looking to make $2 trillion in … Read more

Manchester School Board Takes Advantage of Vulnerable Families

In a time where we need to help parents become even better parents, the Manchester School Board is going in the opposite direction. Today, the New Hampshire Senate Education Committee heard a bill (SB34) to support parental consent for Medicaid billing. In many cases, parents will sign off on Medicaid services, but services can change, … Read more
