State senators yesterday promised a probe of the infamous computer glitch in the New York Medicaid program that has squandered $140 million in taxpayer dollars.

“It is unconscionable that a mistake of this size was not only allowed to occur, but it hasn’t been completely fixed 9 years after the state was first sued over it,” said state Sen. Craig Johnson (D-Nassau). “The residents of New York state deserve answers.”

As reported in Monday’s Post, state officials admitted that an Albany computer snafu mistakenly put thousands of ineligible people onto Medicaid.
