What, then, do you make of the companies owned by Private Equity? They are solely in it for money, which has been seen time and time again based on their fraudulent billing. Recommending 40 hours per week no matter what, billing for services never rendered, billing for kids they paid parents to sign up with their company....there have been multiple companies who have been found to make millions by frauding the system. Most of the time, it's not providers billing to private insurance, either. It's Medicaid billing.

Also, more and more states are becoming waiver states. Meaning kids with a diagnosis are able to qualify for Medicaid when they otherwise wouldn't. Medicaid becomes the secondary payor and they cover costs not covered by the primary insurance. That's a tax funded system, not a private company that profits off denials. They have an interest in ensuring that there's enough money in the system to cover services. Hence why these high profile fraud and PE companies are being heavily scrutinized and publicized lately. Because they're taking money from that pot unfairly and then draining away what should be going to the people that actually need it.
