Episode Details

Maine's Medicaid system is bleeding taxpayer dollars through rampant fraud and neglect—tens of millions in improper MaineCare billing for autism services, ghost home health agencies collecting millions while leaving vulnerable residents in freezing, filthy conditions, and zero accountability from the Mills administration.

In Episode 148 of Muddy Waters, Chuck Ellis interviews Jon Fetherston of The Maine Wire about explosive investigations: federal audits demanding money back, providers calling police on reporters, lax rules enabling shell companies, and why mainstream media ignores it all. They break down how this isn't just "fraud"—it's blatant theft, potential political payback via nonprofits, and a crisis hitting vulnerable Mainers hardest.
