Has anyone heard of this 2010 story? I certainly haven't. The vid is interesting as well since it was made one month before the 'shellacking' the Dems took in the mid-term elections. And they thought the economy was bad then! Why would Obama turn down this offer of FREE help from IBM? Unless actually improving Medicare would go against his agenda of bankrupting this country. What do you think of this story? Very puzzling. Samuel J. Palmisano, the Chairman of the Board and CEO for IBM, said in a recent Wall Street Journal interview that he offered to provide the Obama Administration with a program that would curb healthcare claims fraud and abuse by almost one trillion dollars but the Obama White House turned the offer down. Mr. Palmisano is quoted as saying during a taping of The Wall Street Journal's Viewpoints program on September 14, 2010: "We could have improved the quality and reduced the cost of the healthcare system by $900 billion...I said we would do it for free to prove that it works. They turned us down." A second meeting between Mr. Palmisano and the Obama Administration took place two weeks later, with no change in the Obama Administration's stance. A call placed to IBM on October 8, 2010, by FOX News confirmed, via a spokesperson, that Mr. Palmisano stands by his statement. Speaking with FOX News' Stuart Varney, Mort Zuckerman, Editor-in-Chief of US News & World Report, said, "It's a little bit puzzling because I think there is a huge amount of both fraud and inefficiency that American business is a lot more comfortable with and more effective in trying to reduce. And this is certainly true because the IBM people have studied this very carefully And when Palmisano went to the White House and made that proposal, it was based upon a lot of work and it was not accepted. And it's really puzzling... These are very, very responsible people and don't have a political ax to grind. In Mr. Obama's shunning of a private sector program that would have saved our country almost $1 trillion in healthcare expenditures, presented to him as he declared a "crisis in healthcare," he proves two things beyond any doubt: that he is anti-Capitalist and anti-private sector in nature and that he can no longer be trusted to tell the truth in both his political declarations or espoused goals.

I thought it was the tea party's fault? You guys need to get your blame game straight. Anybody but Obama only works for the Nov 12 elections.
If it weren't for fraud, Obama would never have beat Hillary Clinton. He sent a lot of Illinois goons to the Iowa caucus who then voted illegally.
I just don't understand why we didn't hear about this story in 2010? Obviously it was on O'Reilly & in the WSJ... guess everybody was just too wrapped up in the coming elections. You've got a point... uncovering fraud is no doubt the LAST THING on Obama's agenda. He might get caught in the sweep!
Don't forget that shady way he obtained his house in Chicago. Obama best let sleeping dogs lie when it comes to fraud.
