Kansas Children Drugged In Foster Care Medicaid Fraud

Kansas Foster Care History
http://changingkansas.blogspot.com/

"In Kansas," said Sen. Jeff Colyer, a physician and Overland Park Republican, "there have been no attempts at trying to clean up waste, fraud and abuse issues."
Colyer pointed to a series of federal audits revealing the state misused Medicaid financing in mental health, substance abuse and juvenile justice programs going back to 2003, the year Sebelius took office as governor.
The Legislature approved a settlement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to repay $37.5 million in ill-gotten Medicaid funds."

"Dr. Pam Shaw, a pediatrics professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said she recently saw a young patient who had gained more than 40 pounds in six months after being put on Risperdal. Another patient, a teenage boy, began to develop breasts
Both patients, she said, are now at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes."

KHPA
Sept 27, 2010
An important exemption
In 2002, Statute 39-7, 121b, which bars state officials from prior review or any other restrictions on mental health drugs for adults and children on Medicaid or HealthWave.
http://www.khi.org/news/2010/sep/27/mental-health-drugs-are-most-expensive-ka...

This statute prevents KHPA from employing pharmacy management tools that could identify excessively high doses or the combination of multiple drugs, prevent the inappropriate dispensation of medications to young children and alert pharmacists and prescribers that the therapy prescribed may be inappropriate.

Obviously the DRUGGING of Children isn't important to the Legislature
Subsequent proposals from the health policy authority to repeal or modify the law have been opposed by the mental health and drug lobby and rejected by the Legislature http://www.khi.org/news/2010/sep/27/mental-health-drugs-are-most-expensive-ka...

Thank you.

Excellent research. It is no longer questionable that mind control doctors were imported into the U.S. The Rutherford Institute (think tank, research center) recently published the results of redacted but released U.S. government documents.
