can't (I don't think) be held liable for this. Can they?
I assume there will be a lawsuit against Amerigroup. Looks like there is already a long line of lawsuits against them.

Probably one of the reasons these "management companies" have such a hard time making money is legal fess from their fuck ups.
Got to wonder how much of our dollars Branstad decided give them goes out in legal fees.
