If taxes don't pay for abortions how does one abortionist collect $3.1 million in Medicaid reimbursements in one year?

DJL 2012/07/11 02:03:38

In a recent report published by the Blaze, in a Crain Business report, Dr. Caroline Hoke received over three million dollars in Medicaid funds in the 2009 for abortion services. The Illinois Medicaid inspector general is now taking look into the billing practices of Dr. Hoke.

“The state Department of Healthcare and Family Services has withheld payments to Dr. Hoke until “billing issues” are resolved, a DHFS spokesman confirms. He declines to comment on the details of the case.

Planned Parenthood of Illinois CEO Carole Brite denies any wrongdoing, calling the inquiry a “routine review.” She says the organization will have to repay the state, but she declines to say how much.”

“The probe raises questions about an important source of funding for the organization, which received about half of its $25 million revenue from Medicaid in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the most recent data available.”

    Legal murder is a big business and highly profitable. Absolutely disgusting that they are taking taxpayers money and funding this.

    Invoices to Medicaid are 'composites' of several patients the provider treated or heard of. He learned this approach is approved and practiced by the highest office in the land.

    I can't believe anything reported about Medicare billing. Too much fraud. I say instead of all those people working just to process mountains of claim forms how about a few randomly investigating some of them. And prosicute the crooks!.

    Just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to government and the wasteful spending of tax dollars. Government is not held accountable, no one is fired must less in jail. Our government is just like the governments of the world, now and historically. Crass, money hungry, power-happy jerks-----and, like this medical group/Doctor many take advantage of it. Say, a bit for discussion/replies------I grant than women have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies, even get pregnant. So, if you have the right to create life------it's legal to abort it----so, in this area-----it's legal to kill.
  • Ambassador II 2012/07/11 03:40:47

    Dan, please get you head out of the dark place before you surrender all credibility that you never had. There is a Federal Law forbidding Federal grant money from Taxpayers from being used to pay for abortions. Got that? Illegal, not done. So, the premise of your silly posting here has no traction at all. Medicaid does not disburse funds for abortion, neither does Medicaid, or any other taxpayer funded source.

    If this Doctor billed Medicare or Medicaid with false reimbursement codes, she will pay the penalty and they will seek to recover the funds. It is widely known that about 30% or more
    of all Medicare billings are fraudulent in some way, amounting to a loss of more than $50Billion each year.

    I think that was his point. But they didn't even investigate. This DR is an aborionist so she should not even be billing Medicaid. But they didn't even care. They should have never pd her. And I think that was Dans point. Maybe you are the one in the dark and didn't comprehend the point he was trying to make!!!
  • Ambassa... Bevos 2012/07/11 16:18:38

    Do you think Dan has any idea what this Doctor does in the privacy of treating a patient?
    Of course not. Dan is just another propagandist, probably a Bible beating bleating soul complaining about this and that. Yours is no better ..."they didn't", "should not", "they didn't", "They should", "I think" ..... just whining opinions that you are uncomfortable with reality. Medicare frauds have been going on for decades, literally decades, known to all, and Congress is debating a bill that is dead before it is written. They don't care, of course.
    If you want to change what is reality, write to Speaker Boehner and Sen. McConnell and
    ask them to busy themselves with something of value, not playing a game of charades to amuse their stupid following.

    I'm a athiest moron. I don't believe abortions are wrong,this is about defrauding the tax payers.
  • Ambassa... DJL 2012/07/12 03:06:22 (edited)

    The offending persons, if there is such, is the Doctor, not those who were defrauded. Medicare and Medicaid receive a million or more billings every day,'maybe two or three times that number. It is impossible for them to audit
    of review them all. The person who wrote this question (YOU) then makes the
    allegation that this Doctor is an "abortionist". You see how easy it is to launch
    into these assumptions without support? Let's see how the Doctor comes out
    after the Illinois authorities do their job.

    Thanks for pointing out this very suspicious happening. Doctors can go to jail, along with others who cheat the system.

    It is not an allegation that this DR is an abortionist. He has been paid tax money to do abortions. It proves that it is a lie when it is claimed taxes don't pay for abortions.
  • Ambassa... DJL 2012/07/12 06:08:23
    Ambassador II
    And, who is this that has "proven" the Doctor was paid "tax money" to perform abortions? "Tax money" would be money paid from the U.S. Treasury or identifiable as being from that source? Now that would be a
    violation of Federal Law. If you have proof of such a crime, do send it to
    your nearest FBI office and copy it to Fox network. In fact, post it right
    here on SH also, so we can all help assure that the offenders are brought
    to trial right away.

    Most every Administration of my lifetime has been accused of being "corrupt" by those who disagree with this or that. I've watched all of them carefully since Dwight Eisenhower, who was accused of being a lazy golfer, taking too many vacations to the "Denver" White House. Then there was JFK, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, all tainted by scandal and guilt by association with various unsavory sorts. Wanna hear some great stories about Nixon or Reagan?

    Are you so clueless that you think that because it is illegal for taxes to be used for abortions that it does't happen? You can't be that stupid. Can you?

    If you have evidence, you know of a Federal Crime and can cause an investigation by the FBI and a reporting for the public by Fox network. Send you evidence to Fox with a copy to your local FBI office, include you name, address and phone number. I promise, someone will call you within 48 hours.

    I take it you haven't any such proof and now want to try to turn your baseless claims into a discussion of "stupid"?

    Situation is: A Doctor was paid $3 million from Medicaid funds in 2009?

    Something called Crane claims Doctor was paid by Medicaid to
    perform "abortion services" in 2009?

    PP CEO denies Doctor was paid by PP to perform abortions?

    PP national organization received $25 million in Federal funds
    in 2011?

    You claim "taxpayer funds" were used to pay Doctor to perform
    abortions in 2009?

    Illinois authorities are investigating the matter?

    You allege I might be "stupid" to suggest you should advise
    the FBI and Fox network of any evidence you know of that
    would prove the allegations of "Crane" or use of "taxpayer
    funds" in this manner to be true?

    Not necessary that you soil yourself. There is a company that was begun by Bain Capital that picks up the aborted fetuses and disposes of them. It is an expensive thing, of course, which the Doctor pays.

    No, they dispose of them. Someone posted a comment here yesterday claiming that thousands were found in a dumpster in Los Angeles. I don't know if Bain Capital's company was involved in those or not, or if the allegation was even true. But, the disposal company of Bain is hugely profitable, providing a lot of "earnings" to the Bain partners.
