The federal agency that is supposed to prevent Medicare fraud repeatedly ignored internal watchdog warnings about swindlers stealing millions of dollars over three years. Documents obtained by The Associated Press show that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, received dozens of warnings from inspectors during the Bush and Obama administrations.

A July 2008 warning said organized crime had infiltrated the system and was costing more than $1 million dollars for each phony Medicare provider license the crooks obtained. U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa has asked that future warnings receive a response within two ... Read Full Story

In every state except for Alaska, there are between one and six such facilities. But investigators said four times as many homes, or 580, could be considered among the nation's worst. The report from the Government Accountability Office does not identify the homes. The chairman of the Senate Aging Committee said it indicated to him that the ... Read Full Story

The corn-rich heartland US state of Iowa will look a bit like a United Nations summit come mid-August, as diplomats from some 70 countries make an bi-annual pilgrimage meant to boost overseas trade. If past visits are any guide, Iowans might get to see a buttoned-up veteran of international relations get a rare opportunity to handle a live baby pig. Every two years, Republican Senator Charles Grassley invites each country with an embassy in Washington to send their ambassador and spouse, or another official, to experience his home state's hospitality first hand.

Grassley told The Associated Press on Monday that he's hopeful, but a plan that could emerge would be "a little less sweeping than what we talked about before." Grassley says not all of the ...
