Blunt's brother adds new client

The massive reduction in Medicaid benefits is causing problems for thousands of Missourians, but at least one is poised to make money from it.
Missouri Ethics Commission documents indicate lobbyist Andrew Blunt, brother of Missouri Governor Matt Blunt, registered a new client Monday...ACS Heritage Inc., Richmond, Va., a consulting company which makes it money by offering management and cost-cutting services to government programs, insurance companies and large employers.
According to the company's website, "through a sophisticated suite of proprietary, web-enabled software applications, ACS-Heritage helps clients decrease costs and improve the quality of their prescription drug programs."
Also noted on the website, "ACS-Heritage was founded in 1980 and currently serves more than 14 Medicaid programs, several national commercial insurers, over a dozen Blue Cross Blue Shield licenses, and some of the largest employer groups in the country."
Any bets that this consulting company is going to be doing a lot of business and making a lot of money in Missouri?
