VIDEO: Family asks for Medicaid accountability in video

A Streator family — including their special needs son — are featured in a new video that shines a spotlight on combating fraud and abuse in state Medicaid and welfare programs.

Produced by the Foundation for Government Accountability, a free market think tank based in Naples, Fla., Gary and Christine Chalkey, along with their 19-year-old developmentally disabled son, Jacob, are interviewed in the video about how abuse in state subsidy systems robs scarce resources from the eligible and truly needy.
