Elliot Robinson Quotations

For me, this is a very serious and very egregious allegation. To betray the trust of the public at large, betray the trust of the county, co-workers and, most important, the customers. These are very, very serious allegations.

Looking at a few cases, something didn't add up.

They can get an emergency form of MediCal for treatment in emergency room. But no public assistance: no food stamps, no cash assistance, no MediCal that would be available. Even for most programs, if you're documented, you have to work 60 quarters before you're eligible.

If you think of public assistance, it is in some level a large bank. We need to have a process to make sure fraud does not occur, and some people think they can get away with it. It's such a betrayal of the people who want to help out the community as a whole.
