Planned Parenthood: We’ll have to close clinics if Gov. Walker investigates us for Medicaid fraud
Life Site News ^ | 12/2/2014 | Ben Johnson

It's not even under investigation, but Planned Parenthood is worried it is coming to the end of the line in Scott Walker's Wisconsin.

Investigators with the state's Department of Health Office of Inspector General (OIG) say that two family planning facilities alone have charged the Medicaid program more than twice their allowable cost for birth control, overbilling taxpayers by millions of dollars a year. A spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Wisconsin admitted, if the state will demand that they follow the law as written, it would have to shut down its locations across the state.

What is PP’s argument, that they need to steal money through fraud to stay in business?

Why would PP even admit to this? Is this a dare?

Audit every PP butcher shop. Taxpayer money is not supposed to be used for abortions, so NO Medicaid funds should be used to kill babies.

Oh, there's SO much that the republicans could do with this.

All of the stories of "rich doctors" ripping off medicare to the tune of billions with fraudulent claims.

Lessee what would happen if the repubs go hard and strong on Medicaid fraud. And just WHO are they ripping off and defrauding? Not only the taxpayer, but the minority community in particular.

Rich abortionists are stealing funds meant for poor people's health care!

Ok, so now they admit they are guilty of criminal fraud; so what is stopping the investigation?

sad thing is he’s afraid to govern like his first year when he went after the public unions. he’s also lax on immigration.

He’s a survivor in my book. No dents in his armor after three or four tries.

I like what I see so far.
