Our Medicaid computer system

Once again, there’s a cost overrun with a state computer program.
The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel reports:
“A new computer system to run the state's Medicaid program will cost $64.2 million, twice as much as originally projected, officials said Thursday.
The system won't be finished until October, almost two years behind schedule. The project originally was to cost $32.3 million and be finished by January 2007.”
Here's the story.
And the Democrats who run the state Senate want us to believe them when they claim their proposal to have the state run health care for everyone in Wisconsin will actually save money?
I don’t think so.
