Jonathan Gruber Faces Questions About ‘Phantom Billing’ and Tax Reporting

Big Government reports:
Vermont State Auditor Doug Hoffer is not the only one raising questions about Jonathan Gruber’s billing practices.

On Monday Darcie Johnston, head of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom, told Breitbart News that Gruber may have a “phantom billing” problem.

“Jonathan Gruber has failed to provide any evidence that the $80,000 he’s been paid by the state of Vermont for 800 hours of work he claimed was performed by unidentified research assistants was actually performed, or that these research assistants even exist and were paid,” Johnston told Breitbart News.

“There’s a term in health care for the practice of billing for services not provided. It’s called ‘phantom billing,’ and when doctors or health care providers do this, they face criminal charges.”
The great moments of the Welfare State.
