Trump administration admits a glaring error in its accusations about New York health care fraud
(www.independent.co.uk)
Oz claimed that New York’s Medicaid program last year provided some 5 million people with personal care services, which assist people in need with basic activities like bathing, grooming and meal preparation. That would add up to nearly three-fourths of the state’s 6.8 million Medicaid enrollees.

But the real number of New Yorkers who used those services last year was about 450,000, or between 6% and 7% of total enrollees, CMS spokesman Chris Krepich told The Associated Press this week.
What the fuck. I normally attribute malice to powerful entities that should know better, but this is so god damned idiotic I am seriously questioning if it's actually gross incompetence.
