Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Just so we're clear on what just happened: The nonprofit that runs the US's national sexual assault hotline and claims to do advocacy on behalf of survivors just put a rapist and felon in charge of dictating how survivors can tell their stories, and what details they can or can't include.
Dear Speakers Bureau Members,
We’re reaching out to share an update about the content on RAINN.org. 
For several months, we’ve been in the process of building a new website to launch in 2025. As part of that effort, we had planned to unpublish and update a significant amount of RAINN’s existing content for a full refresh and relaunch.
However, recent guidance from our federal funding partners has expedited this process. You will notice that all survivors’ stories have been unpublished, as well as videos and social posts. They remain securely archived, and we will be reaching out to those who have shared a survival story to discuss whether you would like to update and republish your story.
At this time, our goal is to adhere to the administration’s new guidance while safeguarding RAINN’s survivor community, honoring survivors’ lived experiences, and continuing our mission of serving everyone who comes to RAINN for help. 
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have questions; we will do our best to answer them.
If you are struggling during this time, we encourage you to reach out to RAINN’s National Sexual Assault Hotline for anonymous support.
