TAKE ACTION: Ohio Children’s Hospitals, Planned Parenthood Implicated in Federal Gender Medicine Fraud ReporT
Ohio taxpayers and families deserve answers.
A groundbreaking federal report, Wolves in White Coats, commissioned by the US Department of Health and Human Services and co-authored by Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) President Aaron Baer, has uncovered widespread financial fraud and illegal activity across the country.
For years now, some hospitals and healthcare providers have been subjecting children to horrific, experimental treatments in service of radical gender ideologies. Today, thanks to the Wolves in White Coats report released by @HHSGov, we know why: profit. It turns out that… pic.twitter.com/B7K7iumpYC

While medical institutions claimed "gender medicine" was about health, the report's findings prove it was about money, and Ohio is implicated in the scandal.
Ohio's Fraud & Potential Criminal Activity
The federal report exposes alarming practices happening in our state:
Cleveland Clinic Fraud Settlement: The Department of Justice reached a landmark settlement with the Cleveland Clinic over allegations of false billings submitted to Medicaid and private insurers for sex-rejecting procedures on minors. As part of the resolution, the hospital committed $2 million toward restorative care for detransitioners.
Questionable Billing at Ohio Children's Hospitals: Analysis reveals that 1) Akron Children’s Hospital, 2) Dayton Children’s Hospital, 3) Dayton Children’s Hospital - South Campus, and 4) Nationwide Children’s Hospital all billed for puberty-blocking drugs given to children aged 9 to 17, using vague, non-specific hormone disorder codes. The bills did not list either of the two conditions that usually explain this treatment in children: a gender-related diagnosis, or puberty starting unusually early.
Potential Criminal Activity at Planned Parenthood: The report also shows prescribers affiliated with Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region and Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio wrote cross-sex hormone prescriptions to minors on the exact same day they were diagnosed with "gender dysphoria," a practice that is illegal under Ohio’s SAFE Act.
TAKE ACTION: A Call for Immediate Accountability
“We are calling on state and federal authorities to immediately launch thorough investigations into the alleged billing schemes and potential illegal activity at these hospitals and Planned Parenthood facilities,” CCV President Aaron Baer said. “CCV vehemently denounces these deceitful practices. It’s time to hold these bad actors accountable and protect Ohio’s youth from an ideologically driven industry that prioritizes profit over the well-being of our kids.”
Take 30 seconds to send a message directly to Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson, urging him to open an immediate, thorough investigation into Planned Parenthood and Ohio’s pediatric hospitals for healthcare fraud and potential criminal activity!
