Will They Or Won't They? Debate Continues Over Licenses To Illegal Immigrants Covered By Obama Order PDF Print E-mail

RALEIGH, (AP) — A new North Carolina driver's license set to be issued to some illegal immigrants has a bright pink stripe and the bold words "NO LAWFUL STATUS," raising concerns about whether the design will stigmatize those who show it.

 
The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles announced last week they would begin issuing the licenses in March following a lengthy legal review.
 
The Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program grants valid federal work permits to qualifying applicants brought to the U.S. as children without legal authorization.
 
Meanwhile, conservative lawmakers filed a bill Thursday to bar the DMV from granting the licenses next month, saying the issue needs more scrutiny.
 
Sponsoring Rep. Mark Brody (R-Union) says President Barack Obama's executive order creating the new immigration program violates the Constitution.

HHS Consultant: Computerized Medicaid Billing System Will Be Ready PDF Print E-mail

RALEIGH, (AP) — An outside computer expert evaluating North Carolina's new Medicaid billing system says it's on schedule to be running this summer without additional unplanned spending.

 
But the Charlotte consultant says the system still must overcome significant risks to succeed.
 
The state Department of Health and Human Services released the report Thursday from the consultant brought in last month by agency Secretary Dr. Aldona Wos (vahsh).
 
The project is two years behind its original schedule and has cost hundreds of millions of dollars more than first expected.
 
Consultant Susan Young wrote that a compressed testing period and other system changes increase the risk for problems and unhappy medical providers who get paid for services.
 
The billing system now processes 88 million claims and issues checks of more than $11 billion annually.
