In the months preceding the termination of Mr. Gonzalez\u2019s employment with the defendants, he raised various serious financial concerns directly related to conduct violative of Federal and State statutory schemes by the defendants. These concerns about the illegal accounting, billing, and donations practices of Planned Parenthood were conveyed . . . to various Planned Parenthood personnel . . . the response of the defendants was to terminate Relator\u2019s employment.<\/p>\n
The defendants had a practice of marking up medications (oral contraceptives, nuvaRing, etc.) bought under the \u201cPHS 340B\u201d discount program. The effect of this was the defendants overcharging the Federal Government, and self-pay patients . . . The result of this assessment report for PPLA revealed approximately $2,144,313.17 in overbilling . . . for only one year . . .<\/p>\n
Since 1997 the Planned Parenthood affiliates of California have bought drugs at discount prices and rather than selling the drugs to their indigent clientele at the required Acquisition Cost, they illegally marked-up the drugs and billed them to both clients and government sometimes at greater than 12 times the acquisition cost. The estimated illegal billing over six years, beginning in 1999, exceeds $180,000,00.00. This conservative figure only takes into account the illegal and unscrupulous billing practices of Defendants within the state of California.<\/p>\n

Houston-based Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast has paid $4.3 million to resolve civil allegations under the False Claims Act in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales.<\/p>\n
The government alleges that between 2003 and 2009, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast billed and was paid by government programs, Texas Medicaid, Title XX, and the Women\u2019s Health Program, for certain items and services related to birth control counseling, STD testing and contraceptives when such items and services were either not medically necessary, not medically indicated or not actually provided.\u00a0 Title XX is funded by the federal government while Texas Medicaid and the Women\u2019s Health Program are funded jointly by the federal government and the State of Texas.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\nConclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\u00a0<\/strong>This is all about money, not directly about killing, and fraud is certainly less of a crime than killing is. So why does it matter to consistent-lifers?<\/p>\nFraud is done from greed, and greed is one of the many connections between all the kinds of killing.<\/p>\n
Money supports the killing, and having more money means a killing institution \u2013 any killing institution \u2013 is able to practice more killing.<\/p>\n
The kind of money-grubbing that leads to massive fraud when done by heartless large corporations, including Planned Parenthood, shows they\u2019re in it for the money and belies their claims of compassion.<\/p>\n
Discussions over whether or not the government should be providing taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood would be better informed with knowing this, since many people who are rightly concerned that medical care for the poor be well funded are against fraud. They regard the practice of fraud as a reason to avoid giving funds to those committing it.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just the taxpayers \u2013 the people in poverty for whom Medicaid money is designated are sometimes overcharged and are always being robbed. The people who can least afford to have their healthcare interfered with are the ones most suffering the consequences of the fraud.<\/p>\n
For consistent-lifers, this point is one of special angst: Medicaid money is going down as war costs go up. The idea that the military budget has been a stunning waste of money when so much is needed for actual human needs is a point we\u2019ve been making for decades. It\u2019s especially acute right now. At a time when the Medicaid budget is being cut, and it\u2019s explicitly stated<\/a> that such cuts are needed so the military can get more money, it\u2019s an outrage that an organization like Planned Parenthood would essentially make more Medicaid cuts by taking a chunk of Medicaid\u2019s meagre budget out in fraud for their own enrichment.<\/p>\n============================<\/p>\n
