Deloitte should be liable for the medical bills of patients who it wrongly denied coverage for.

They saved money by skipping QA, they can pay for the fallout of their bugs.

Bro... This is America, these guys never get in trouble for anything

Why would they get in trouble when they are meeting the goals of the program?

Kicking people out of Medicare is the point. Whether they're supposed to be on the program is a secondary concern.

That's the distinction between "should" and "will"

They are liable but nobody will enforce the law because fuck plebs

I agree.

I also wish Deloitte would stop winning contracts to build their shitty, cobbled together tech solutions for pennies (to the contractors) on the dollar. Their track record for such activity is actually kinda garbage in the industry.

Will keep happening as long as contracts are awarded based on flashy proposals.

From your fingers to the will of the people.

Or, how about a small fine. Maybe 5% of the extra profit they made in this scam and they don't even have to stop or admit wrong doing

^ this is what will likely happen
