The Texas Attorney General’s Office today concluded the State’s Medicaid fraud investigation into Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, Inc. Under today’s agreement, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast must pay $1.4 million for fraudulently overbilling the taxpayer-funded Medicaid program.

After a whistleblower lawsuit was filed alleging improper billing practices by Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, an investigation was opened by the Texas Attorney General’s Office and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission’s Office of Inspector General. The State’s investigation revealed that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast 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. 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.

What the article didn't say, and what I'd be interested in, is who's going to jail over this?

That 'armed warfare' between Texas and the Feds is all about setting-up 'WINDY Davis' to run for Texas Attorney General in 2014!!

OBozo and his band of racist buttholes are going after what State AG job they can get...starting with Texas.

Planned Parenthood = Murder Incorporated.

A few mere decades ago rogue doctors who murdered pre-birth children were arrested, tried, and sent to prison if convicted. Today we pay Planned Parenthood hundreds of millions of $ each year to murder pre-birth children in the same manner. Is it any wonder that God has turned His back on our formerly Christian nation and has allowed us to be ruled by a pathological liar and his traitorous retinue of God-hating radicals?

$1.4 million will help pay for more lawsuits against Holder.
