SEIU and Michigan Democratic Party Shakedown Medicaid Recipients



If you want an example of a corrupt relationship between the unions and their state oprichniki; just take a gander at Michigan. SEIU and their democratic familiars have concocted a scheme that fleeces Medicaid recipients of their money by automatically deducting union dues from their checks:

Michigan Department of Community Health Director Olga Dazzo explained the process in to her members of her staff. "MQC3 basically runs the program for SEIU and passes the union dues from the state to the union," she wrote in an email obtained by the Mackinac Center. Initiated in 2006 under then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm, D-Mich., the plan reportedly provides the SEIU with $6 million annually in union dues deducted from those Medicaid subsidies.

“We're not even home health care workers. We're just parents taking care of our kids,” Robert Haynes, a retired Detroit police officer,
told the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. “Our daughter is 34 and our son is 30. They have cerebral palsy. They are basically like 6-month-olds in adult bodies. They need to be fed and they wear diapers. We could sure use that $30 a month that's being sent to the union.”


SEIU gets $6 million a year from this scam? Wow! And let’s not forget the cut the Michigan Democratic Party gets from this money laundering scheme. If these guys are willing to screw the neediest amongst us, you have to wonder what other pies these grubs have their fingers into.
