On October 18, 2012, the Senate's Committee on Health, Revenue, Tax Fairness and Insurance held an information hearing on a massive privatization failure here and Wisconsin -- the
inability
of Providence Service Corporation's LogistiCare to responsibly broker
transportation for some of Wisconsin and America's most needy citizens.
As the citizens in this short video compilation demonstrate -- systematic failures go far beyond the ability of LogistiCare to handle the volume of service calls it receives and, even though a network of providers was available to handle all rides in the past, now claims that they can't find enough transportation providers.
Privatization schemes that reward companies with public moneys to withhold services that the public has paid-for upfront will always fail -- LogistiCare is acting as a gatekeeper, preventing qualified members from accessing important medical treatments and appointments and the only reason it appears to be doing so is to increase its profits.
