IBM offered to help reduce Medicare fraud for free...

The offer is true. Zuckerman, US News and World Report owner, a Democrat was interviewed on Fox and confirmed it. IBM has confirmed it. You won't believe it. * Offer: The Chairman and CEO of IBM, Samuel J. Palmisano, approached President Obama and members of his administration before the healthcare bill debates with a plan that would reduce healthcare expenditures by $900 billion. * Cost to you the taxpayer: FREE. * Did President Obama and his team accept the offer that was projected to save almost one trillion dollars and which cost the taxpayers nothing? No. Palmisano (CEO of IBM) said in a Wall Street Journal interview, 09/14/2010, that he offered to provide the Obama Administration, FREE OF CHARGE, a program that would reduce healthcare fraud by almost A TRILLION DOLLARS, but after two meetings, the White House turned him down. "We could have improved the quality and reduced the cost of the healthcare system by $900 billion... I said we would do it for free to prove that it works. They turned us down."

Mort Zuckerman, Editor-in-Chief of US News & World Report, said,

"It's a little bit puzzling because I think there is a huge amount of both fraud and inefficiency that American business is a lot more comfortable with and more effective in trying to reduce. And this is certainly true because the IBM people have studied this very carefully. And when Palmisano went to the White House and made that proposal, it was based upon a lot of work and it was not accepted. And it's really puzzling...These are very, very responsible people (e.g., IBM) and don't have a political ax to grind."

Almost ONE TRILLION DOLLARS President Obama rejected ... and now, we and our children, can pay the bill. How do you feel about that?

I'm not so sure there isn't more to this story. Nothing's free in the worlds of business and politics.

Let's see IBM hmmm ... fighting fraud you say ... hmm ... no thanks !
Given IBM's history it would have fit in their plans though ... maybe it's an initial no. A direct yes would be too obvious.
So let's see if they can trick it into a yes :suspicious:
