Lawsuit: Planned Parenthood Overcharged Gov. $180M

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A fired executive is suing Planned Parenthood, claiming affiliates in California overbilled the government by $180 million for birth control pills.

Details of the 2005 whistle-blower lawsuit by P. Victor Gonzalez were unsealed and made public last week.

Gonzalez was vice president of finance and administration of Planned Parenthood's Los Angeles affiliate. His suit, filed under the federal False Claims Act, contends he was fired in 2004 after raising concerns about -- quote-- "illegal accounting, billing and donations practices."

A representative for Planned Parenthood declined comment, saying officials haven't seen the suit yet.
