O'Keefe releases undercover investigation of Ohio Medicaid Services

While Illinois is facing challenges from the feds for stiffening its Medicaid qualification authentication process, undercover videographer James O'Keefe, well known for exposing ACORN's scandalous tactics that led to the group's re-organization, has been working on a new project: revealing Medicaid abuses.

O'Keefe went to Ohio as drug dealers, drive expensive cars, and possess incredible wealth. At no time did the case workers ask the reporters to leave. Even though the reporters admit to making their living through drug dealing or facilitating child prostitution, the case workers never called the police, Child Protective Services or the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In fact, the case workers appear eager to assist the reporters in filling out the necessary Medicaid paperwork. When one of the reporters inquires about Medicaid for his sick father, he asks that if it will be a problem if he sells the “herbal remedy,” the case worker replies: “Well, I mean, it doesn’t matter what kind of work he does.”

Late Monday, O'Keefe reported one of the Medicaid staffers below had been put on administrative leave, pending an investigation.
