AP:

WASHINGTON - The District of Columbia risks losing federal funds because it has overpaid contractors almost $100 million for medical services, an audit found.

The D.C. Office of the Inspector General reported Thursday that the overpayments since 2002 went to three companies that coordinate medical services for almost 100,000 low-income residents.

William J. DiVello, assistant inspector general, said the auditors aren’t saying that companies did anything illegal, but that the “district just didn’t do a good job monitoring them.”

If the Feds cut off D.C.’s Medicaid money, and a lot of Medicaid cuts are made in earnest, D.C.’s politicians and residents will blame white racism and the Bush administration before they blame their own crooked black city officials.
