Planned Parenthood in Texas faces 1.8 billion dollars in penalties, fines and costs for illegally claiming money from Medicaid from 2017 to 2021

Planned Parenthood Facing $1.8 Billion In Fines For Fraudulent Medical Claims – Tania Joy TV

“The Center for Medical Progress led by David Daleiden released videos that revealed Planned Parenthood as engaging in allegedly unethical practices such as “trafficking in aborted fetal organs”.

As a result of this information, Planned Parenthood was decertified as an official Medicaid provider by Inspector General Stuart Bowen Jr., who explained that they were no longer capable of performing medical services safely or ethically.”

Okay, disqualified for “trafficking in aborted fetal organs”, amongst other things.

“.. Texas is seeking restitution and has filed a lawsuit for “twice the amount of all improper Medicaid fraud payments” from February 2017 to March 2021, plus interest and civil penalties between $5,500 and $11,000 per fraudulent claim as well as attorneys fees and court costs.

The Stand report pointed out, “The abortion chain’s defenders say the $1.8 billion maximum fine would more than bankrupt all three of the Planned Parenthood affiliates operating in the sprawling, pro-life state: Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast (PPGC); Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, Inc. (PPGT); and Planned Parenthood of South Texas, Inc. (PPST).”

“A provider whose Medicaid credentials are terminated is no longer a ‘qualified’ provider and is no longer eligible to seek or receive reimbursement from Medicaid,” it said in court.

“It is unthinkable that Planned Parenthood would continue to take advantage of funding knowing they were not entitled to keep it,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton when the case was started a few months ago, according to the Stand.”

Sounds to me like they should not only be bankrupted, but individuals should be sent to prison for a long time, not just for fraud but for trafficking the body parts of babie – though maybe the latter is legal in Texas?
