NEW: GOP lawmakers want to nationalize Medicaid work requirements to offset Trump’s proposed tax cuts.
Yet Georgia’s example shows that this could threaten health care for nearly 16 million Americans and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

please can you help me?.
I love you from Gaza 👋❤️🩹🇵🇸🙏
Hello my dear friend
💞ProPublica 💞.
Can you share my pinned post please 🥺🙏🙏
Second, there are many reasons why people can't work. Physical/mental issues, caring for children or grandparents, lack of transportation ...etc.
What about disabled people and children? Are they supposed to beg on the streets?
As are the elderly.
That will help spread disease and inefficiency.
Next up, make the retirees work to retire?
completely backwards
but that’s the point i guess, they want to break the program and deny people care
Malignant Narcissism is rampant in the 1% wealthy.
⬆️births+⬇️ medicine= ⬆️deaths. This breeds strong workers for free. THIS IS HERD HEALTH FOR THE WORKING CLASS. THIS IS CAPITALIST EUGENICS.
Admit the error, deny the harm. That’s the formula. CCA’s boilerplate responses are not just tone-deaf — they violate CMS rules requiring impartial, individualized reviews. This is grievance fraud disguised as empathy.
Every CCA grievance starts the same: “We’re sorry for the inconvenience…” Then they describe the error — missed transport, delayed care, wrong notes — only to conclude: “No wrongdoing occur
.@ProPublica — Why the silence on Commonwealth Care Alliance? A taxpayer-funded public option in MA caught falsifying records, denying care, and retaliating against disabled members. Your newsroom exists for this. Why aren’t you reporting it?
Thank you so much.
For over a year, I’ve documented abuse, retaliation, and medical fraud by Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA), a Massachusetts Medicaid contractor. This thread outlines systemic harm to members. I’ve submitted to @propublica. @MassAGO @HHSGov #MedicaidAbuse #MassHealth
CCA falsely recorded me as a federally convicted drug trafficker—not true. My record is sealed and unrelated to drugs. They also doxxed my sister, a DA, and fabricated a strained relationship to justify “involuntary disenrollment.” @propublica #HIPAAViolation
Dr. Thomas Ward-Barbara included these lies in my record with no clinical purpose. CCA then stated the record would be stored “in a vault,” a term with no regulatory basis. That’s concealment. #HealthCareFraud #MedicalAbuse
I sustained multiple thoracic fractures. No referrals, no imaging, no treatment—for over a year. EMT reports and witness photos confirm injuries. CCA covered it up. I was denied proper care. @propublica #Neglect #MassHealth
(Tag: @propublica @MassAGO @SenWarren @masshealth @HHSGov)
CCA violated:
🔹HIPAA 45 CFR §164.524
🔹Mass Gen Laws ch. 111 §§70, 70E
🔹CMS 42 CFR §§438.206 & 438.208
Members denied records, left untreated, care uncoordinated. Behavioral Health weaponized to silence complaints. This is state-backed abuse.
A member was falsely labeled a federal drug trafficker by a CCA doctor using sealed records—unrelated to drugs. The record listed their DA sister by name. No medical justification. No apology. Just character assassination.
Transport to court was misrouted to a deceased relative’s home. Prescriptions went unfilled. Phones unanswered. Primary care? Unreachable. Complaints? Redirected to psych. This is CCA’s “care model.” Still funded. Still operating.
The CEO, Christopher Palmieri, was forced to resign. But not before securing a $2.5 million “success fee.” A golden parachute after driving a public plan to the edge of collapse. That’s not oversight—it’s complicity.
New leadership is silent. Same corrupt execs still in place. Members are organizing. Billboard campaign, protest, social media, legal action. But where’s the press? Why is @ProPublica ignoring this story?
This. Just get them off/keep them off the program anyway you can.
You just doubled the paperwork & admin overhead, this is insanely stupid 🔥who believes this crap
