Nevada Wingnut Rep. Michele Fiore Stoled All The Money From Medicaid, Maybe
Our new favorite One-L Michele in politics, Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, is one tough opponent of Big Government. Shes against wasteful government entitlements like Medicaid and voted against expanding it in Nevada, of course. On the other hand, shes also an entrepreneur who runs a couple of home healthcare businesses, Always There 4 You and Always There Personal Care, which have received roughly $6 million in Medicaid funding over the past five years, which is not Big Government at all, but rather, the fruits of her own hard work. And just to prove that she opposes the heavy hand of government regulation, Fiore is now facing the possible loss of her operating license because she refuses to let state inspectors review her records. Not to mention a whole bunch of IRS liens filed against her for refusing to pass on her employees withheld pay to the taxman. And yes, of course shes the victim here.

Stay away from me-hee
Fiore, youll recall, is the legislative genius who bafflegabbed Chris Hayes into stunned incredulity during the Bundy Ranch idiotfest; explained that cancer is a fungus that can be flushed out of the bloodstream with baking soda; advocated concealed guns on college campuses so these young, hot little girls can blow away all the potential rapists; and is so very impressed by the progress that the colored people have made, that shes pretty sure discrimination is no longer a thing: Were in 2015 and we have a black president, in case anyone didnt notice. And now shes at war with state healthcare inspectors and could lose her operating license.
Nevada journalist Jon Ralston, an expert on the states bizarre political landscape, reports:
During the last few weeks, state health inspectors have conducted unannounced visits, as prescribed by regulations, to look at Fiores records of her home health care businesses. The first time, Im told, her mother, who helps her run the business, refused to allow the inspectors to do their job. The second time, Fiore rebuffed the inspectors and, according to a knowledgeable source, threatened to pass legislation to prevent them from coming back.
Ive also learned that a meeting is scheduled for later this week, a so-called conciliation process that essentially gives Fiore one more chance to comply. If she does not, the state will likely move to suspend or revoke her license.
Just to add to the fun, while collecting all that Medicaid money and getting into trouble for tax problems, Fiore voted against Medicaid expansion, because the poors havent earned healthcare, and is also of course chair of the Nevada Assemblys taxation committee.
