The Bills You Have to Pay

In his State of the State address last month, Gov. Joe Manchin pledged to find for West Virginians a "patient-friendly" medical billing system. The Associated Press' Tom Breen follows up on the governor's promise, which was prompted in part by Manchin's recent knee surgery.

Breen also reports that Manchin has added to this goal a related objective: to make West Virginia the first state "to reward Medicaid recipients who find instances of overcharging or fraud on their medical bills."
