AUSTIN, TX, July 24, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Planned Parenthood must reimburse the State of Texas Medicaid program $1.4 million in erroneous and fraudulent billing, under the terms of a settlement announced today. That includes funds that, according to the whistleblower who exposed the chapter, were used to finance abortion-related services.
A thorough investigation found that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast (PPGC) “improperly billed the Texas Medicaid program for products and services that were never actually rendered, not medically necessary, and were not covered by the Medicaid program – and were therefore not eligible for reimbursement,” Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott announced today.
“For example, state investigators determined that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast falsified material information in patients’ medical records in order to support fraudulent reimbursement claims to the Medicaid program,” he said.

Why aren’t there criminal prosecutions of those PP employees involved?

Greg Abbott. Our next Governor.
(God, I love living in Texas!)
Abortionists should NOT have access to Medicaid nor Medicaid. Just because it’s legal does not mean my earned money should contribute without consent
Not a penny
Never mind this fraud waste and abuse
No State Income Tax
A healthy Oil and Gas Industry to boost employment in the state.
I think there are also areas in Dallas where you cannot buy hard liquor (Bible belt influence).
To name a few...
are u kidding—not with this administration
Where are they going to get the money for this?
Sounds like a "for-profit" organization to me.
More news...that is not on the news.
“Fry ‘em”
The real solution to this problem is to eliminate Medicaid. May be these welfare whores will get off their fat asses and get a job and will be too busy to fornicate and need abortions.
More news that you will not hear on ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS, or NPR.
If a physician was guilty of those charges he would lose his/her license immediately. Why not Planned Parenthood?
Abbott is kicking ass with both feet!
Maybe the stars are lining up for the new Lone Star Texas Republic. Sometimes that sweetheart marriage made in heaven just doesn’t stand the test of time, especially when one of em is pissin away the money like Jimmy Buffett and poking every poodle they see.
I am sick of corporate and government employees committing felonies without being prosecuted.
Thanks topher.
