They call it a career in public service

Which is just a fancy way of saying take em for all they're worth coming and going.

Former Gov. Bobby Jindal, who made his opposition to Medicaid expansion in Louisiana a cornerstone of his gubernatorial platform and a talking point in his 2016 campaign for president, has joined the board of directors of WellCare Health Plans, Inc., a Florida-based company that "focuses exclusively on providing government-sponsored managed care services, primarily through Medicaid, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans."

Medicaid gets cut. Medicaid gets expanded or shot through with bewildering rules and mechanisms designed to benefit private insurers and drug companies.  All of this jerking around can mean stability or banruptcy or even life or death for millions of people. For amoral grifters like Bobby Jindal, though,  it's all the same. Always another way to make a little money.

According to a filing with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), Jindal will be serving on the company's Audit, Finance and Regulatory Compliance Committee and the Information Technology Oversight Committee. Wellcare board members receive $90,000 per year, the filing says, with additional annual retainers of $12,000 and $8,000 for the two committee positions. Jindal also will receive 405 shares of Wellcare common stock, which was trading at $307.48 on the New York Stock Exchange at day's end, making the compensation package worth more than $230,000.

Okay well maybe not just a little money.
