      200 million per year out of a 58 billion annual budget is about 1/2 of 1 percent.

      But yes, big scary numbers are big and scary.

        How many schools could be funded with that $200MM/year? If they were to tighten controls, I would expect a roughly $15MM/year in increased expenditures, but that's still saving some $185MM/year. You can fund schools, or just update textbooks for schools already in operation. It may not be much compared to the overall budget, but it's still no paltry sum of cash.

                You're not going to save 185 million, because you're never going to reduce fraud/waste/error to 0.

                Reducing such things is laudable, but let's not make mountains out of molehills. I personally like how the linked article aggregated 6 years of data just to hit the billion dollar mark for effect.

                  I didn't read this as fraud issues, rather the state was not coordinating benefits correctly with private insurers. No, you'll never reduce all errors in payments like these, but you can drastically reduce it.

                        Apparently the crowd chanted “build that wall” at the rally tonight. He also said he’ll easily win Minnesota in 2020.

                            Remember, folks, MN has not voted for a (R) Presidential candidate since 1972. And only twice before that since 1928.

                                This is truth. I'm gonna think that the Dems will be better prepared this time around.
