Abortion accounts for 86% of Planned Parenthood non-gov't revenue

[homersapien 12,387]

Wish I could get paid $30-200 for 5 minutes of work. Y'know...just to cover my costs. Sounds reasonable to me.

Ever figured out what a root canal (as a random example) costs per minute?

Are there extra instruments required? What is the cost of opening a sterile instrument pack?

In all fairness, is that not a gross over-simplification? Are you thinking only about the cost of the action or, are you including the associated overhead and administrative costs?

What overhead? They already have a lab worker that sorts the parts for every single abortion. They have to make sure nothing is left in the uterus that could cause infection. So what's left? Instead of throwing into a disposal unit, they bag it and use a postage paid box with included dry ice provided by the buyer, seal it and put it out for UPS to come get. Maybe the form the erstwhile mother signed giving consent has to be signed by the lab tech. Perhaps someone scans it into electronic form. Again, this is miniscule stuff for what's being paid. A full, intact specimen can command $200 and a box typically has a day's worth of specimens in it, not just onesies.

Sounds like a nice racket if you can swing it.

You're paying for the time and expertise of a doctor, not extra instruments.

In this situation, you're paying for someone with no serious extra training (no one goes to college to learn this) to take the parts they had to sort anyway and throw 'em in a bag, box them in a postage paid, supplied box and leave it for UPS. They might sign a form and check a couple of boxes.

Not analogous.

There Are Thousands of Clinics That Could Replace Planned Parenthood, Right? Nope.

This week, the Congressional controversy over Planned Parenthood could come to a head as investigations continue through the House of Representatives. Today, Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, will testify before the House Oversight Committee, one of several committees conducting an investigation in the wake of videos from anti-abortion activist David Daleiden, who is also expected to testify in the continuing discussion.

One of the claims they may address has been neatly presented in a map circulating on social media. The graphic claims that there are 13,540 clinics where women can find comprehensive health care, as opposed to a mere 665 Planned Parenthood locations. It has become a popular talking point in the conservative push to defund Planned Parenthood—most notably mentioned by Jeb Bush in the GOP debate earlier this month. The map in question seems to be referring to a list of clinics, organized by state, from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a branch of the Department of Health and Human Services.

But what the graphic doesn't mention is that most of the clinics listed don't even appear to have a certified OB-GYN on staff. The clinics are mostly general practice, meaning they may lack equipment and expertise to deliver reproductive health care to women. It's not clear what criteria the groups circulating the map used to define viable options to replace Planned Parenthood's services, and the groups did not respond to requests for comment.

While the clinics on this list do accept Medicaid, they are not set up to take the massive influx of patients that would result from a shutdown of Planned Parenthood. What's more, many private reproductive health care clinics—those that aren't represented on the list—don't take Medicaid at all. That's because the program pays just a fraction of what private insurers will reimburse.

Planned Parenthood, on the other hand, is set up to handle large numbers of Medicaid patients. Nearly half of all Planned Parenthood patients use Medicaid coverage, and more than a third of women who receive publicly funded family planning care rely on Planned Parenthood.

Mark DeFrancesco, president of the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, says it's common for practitioners not to accept Medicaid patients, because the reimbursement rates can't come close to offsetting the operating costs of their clinics. "The reimbursement is such that Medicaid just by definition doesn't pay anywhere near what private insurers pay for OB-GYN visits," says DeFrancesco.

Sara Rosenbaum, a health law professor at George Washington University, agrees. In a blog post for Health Affairs, she writes that the claim that community clinics could replace Planned Parenthood represents "a fundamental misunderstanding of how the health care system works."

Additionally, the Congressional Budget Office estimated in a report issued earlier this month that if Planned Parenthood were defunded, as many as 650,000 women "in areas without access to other health care clinics or medical practitioners who serve low-income populations" would lose their reproductive health care. And a survey by the Guttmacher Institute found that women often value specialized family planning clinics such as Planned Parenthood over primary care clinics for reasons such as affordability, increased confidentiality, and a greater range of contraceptive options. Guttmacher also reports that in 103 counties, Planned Parenthood is the only "safety net" family planning service, meaning that a large portion of their patients are either uninsured or reliant on Medicaid.

If Planned Parenthood were to lose a third of its entire budget, DeFrancesco warns, "these patients won't have anywhere else to go."

You're welcome to produce evidence to the contrary. I've posted information from someone on the inside before. And I've read the marketing materials from StemExpress as well. They strive to make it as simple and easy as possible. After all, it has to be to be "financially rewarding" for the clinic (not quite sure how it can be financially rewarding if the fees simply cover costs, but - hey, what do I know?)

A lab worker at an abortion clinic simply does not require anywhere near the training and education that an oral surgeon does, much less the skill. Just about every job requires some level of training so I didn't mean to imply they don't get trained at all. It's just not even in the same solar system as an oral surgeon or a medical doctor. The comparison between the two simply doesn't hold water.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/09/30/house-report-planned-parenthood-spent-millions-on-blowout-parties-travel/?intcmp=hplnws

According to the report, which cited tax returns, Planned Parenthood spent over $5.1 million on travel in 2013, or nearly $14,000 a day. On top of that, several affiliates reported spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on travel. The report also said Planned Parenthood "books first class or charter travel," though President Cecile Richards said at Tuesday's hearing that she, personally, does not travel first class.

The report also said Planned Parenthood gave nearly $22 million in grants over five years to its Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which is legally able to do lobbying activity. Campaign finance records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics show donations from the Planned Parenthood Action Fund Inc. PAC, in turn, go almost exclusively to Democratic candidates.

Further, the House report said Planned Parenthood spent $622,706 on "blowout parties" in 2013 and 2013; and the group's affiliates likewise spent on events ranging from a so-called "Gathering of Goddesses and Gods" to "Murder Mystery" fundraisers.

The report also said over 40 executives earned salaries of $200,000 or more between 2009 and 2013. Richards acknowledged during Tuesday's hearing, under questioning from Chaffetz, that her annual compensation is $520,000.

There is no good reason or even excuse to keep putting taxpayer money into PP. All the non abortion services they do can easily be handled by community health centers.

[Texan4Auburn 1,626]

So why haven't they been indicted? Why have they been cleared of violating the law in every investigation?

(BTW, insults do not strengthen your arguments.)

Because even though any thinking person can see they are violating the spirit of the law, and that it would be reasonable to conclude they are also violating the letter of it, they tread just close enough to the line to make it a difficult case for a prosecutor (assuming the state prosecutor in their state isn't already sympathetic to PP) to pursue. A lack of an indictment isn't always an indication that investigators don't think something untoward is going on. It's also a matter of what they can prove and how much of a slog the case would be to get a conviction.

And all of this is assuming that the clinics in question are being totally honest and above board with their records.

What it highlights is the need to make the law more explicit and the requirements to demonstrate compliance with it more granular than they currently are.

No offense intended but, I think you are seeing what you wish to see so clearly that, you cannot see what is clear. The PP investigations were initiated in states that had governors and legislators sympathetic to your cause.

The only investigations thus far were in states where the clinics actually don't donate any tissue. The places where they are donating tissue and charging "reasonable" fees to cover costs, such as California, an audit of their books is being blocked by Democrats in the state legislature.

Interesting. Why didn't you say so four pages ago?!!! Is it fair to say that, PP only harvests and donate fetal tissue in states with the "proper" political climate?

I wouldn't call Colorado the "proper" political climate. The same Republicans that are calling for a investigation also voted down the Colorado Family Planning Initiatives funding, which provided low cost and free birth control. Talk about hypocrisy lol.

Those cats are in a no abortion, birth control leads to loose women, abstinence only state of mind. That doesn't sound very pro- PP.

Prove that Obama paid them off.

I will agree he screwed the pooch with that one in the plan big time though. Didn't control them and the exchanges failed to create competition.

Things like BCBS of Alabama controlling 90% (they had this control before Obama) of the market and Bentley making laws that set standard prices for procedures, but you are exempt from that standard price if you are non-profit, do not help either. I'd still like to see how BCBSA sets it prices, but as stated before I know people at Auburn and UAB that have tried to get a hold of that data and they won't let anyone but themselves near it.

An investigation of BCBS of Alabama would have nothing to do with Obama or Obamacare, it wouldn't occur cause it is the monopoly, with the power, the control, the donations, the job supply, and has the local politicians by the balls and owns them. The state of Alabama would protect them.

You can be a CEO, employing 1000s, make $10M and be seen as a total pariah. Or you can look at the Kochs, see nothing but evil, and look at Soros, and see nothing but good. You can also look at Tom Steyer, a guy that has made maybe $BNs polluting the Earth and he is okay because he now SAYS he sees the light...while still clinging to all his energy stocks and etc etc etc...

Further, the House report said Planned Parenthood spent $622,706 on "blowout parties" in 2013 and 2013; and the group's affiliates likewise spent on events ranging from a so-called "Gathering of Goddesses and Gods" to "Murder Mystery" fundraisers.

The report also said over 40 executives earned salaries of $200,000 or more between 2009 and 2013. Richards acknowledged during Tuesday's hearing, under questioning from Chaffetz, that her annual compensation is $520,000.

Oh boy! A non-profit with perks, highly paid executives and even parties! :-\/>

Can we examine the NRA next?

When did the NRA get into providing healthcare?

I thought we were suppose to be against the evil healthcare providers who spend too much money on senior management salaries and perks?

You were insinuating PP - as a non-profit - should not operate more or less like a for-profit company as a matter of principle. There are plenty of non-profits that operate with "perks, highly paid executives and even parties!" I would welcome the comparison of the perks and salaries of PP to for profit healthcare providers.

i don't think any non profit that operates primarily as a charity or provider of low cost services to the poor should be operating with highly paid executives. Like the Clinton foundation.

cptau, this bunch is under the delusion that the Clinton Foundation is actually something other than a cash cow for the Clintons.

Last month, the website The Federalist looked at the Clinton Foundation’s IRS filings for the period between 2008 and 2012. According to its analysis, only 15 percent of the $500 million raised during that span when towards grants for other organizations. Nearly $110 million was paid out in the form of salaries and benefits while $25 million went towards travel expenses. Almost 60 percent of the organization’s disclosed revenue — or $290 million — was listed under the category of “other expenses.” That pattern continued into 2013, The Post notes. Of the $140 million in money the Clinton Foundation received in 2013, only $9 million was given out as charity to other groups.

According to the report, which cited tax returns, Planned Parenthood spent over $5.1 million on travel in 2013, or nearly $14,000 a day. On top of that, several affiliates reported spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on travel. The report also said Planned Parenthood "books first class or charter travel," though President Cecile Richards said at Tuesday's hearing that she, personally, does not travel first class.

What do you think constitutes "highly" paid for a CEO for an organization the size of PP?

How much do you think the CEO of PP should make?

It's past time that the government get out of the business of facilitating external funding support. These groups need to support themselves.

Still at it. :-\ You just can't help it can you?

Who said anything about an NRA healthcare plan? I was referring to the behavior of non-profits. I didn't mention "healthcare plans".
