Rachel Maddow nails health care opponent Rick Scott.

Go Rachel! Rick Scott needs to join William McGuire as one of the faces of corporate and personal greed in the health care industry. Make these guys a household name.

(And you thought I was kidding when I said that I would post about Rick Scott daily.)

:hi: :thumbsup:

Here's a look at the dark underside of the GOOP machine...the people who funded georgie boooosh and have spread their money and bile around for over 20 years. They hide behind special interest groups, 527s, PACs and "Think Tanks" that are nothing but propaganda machines to enrich those who pay the bills. Scott has long been one of those bill payers who has benefitted handsomely from doing whatever it takes to get his way.

What's rare here is that you don't see these creatins on a national network. Many remember Jeff Gannon/Gunkert, but few remember Talon News, the astroturf organization he was "employed" by...just follow the money and Scott's dirty fingers are on it, as well as other "Texas Rangers".

Kudos to Rachel for shining a light on these rats...may more light follow and keep scum like Scott in their holes.

:kick:

fraud. He is what is WRONG with our health care system.

Not just healthcare...but energy and bank fraud and military contracting. Unravel the threads...expose the criminal enterprise that is the money arm of the rushpublicans. I'd almost bet this would do more damage to the already alienated Independents and remaining moderate GOOPers.

Cheers...

Great defense there, guy.
Oh, yeah, nothing happened to HIM..meanwhile those of us who worked at HCA post-fraud/scandal got dragged into mandatory "ethics classes" EVERY year for several years--it was part of the deal they made with the feds--HCA had to give "ethics classes" to it employees--even though WE had NOTHING to do with the fraud. We were at the very bottom of the food chain (nurses, aides..clerical staff, housekeeping, EVERYone) and they treated us like we were the ones who did wrong.
HCA still sucks..worst nurse:patient ratio ever, anything to save a buck. Meanwhile the ones at the TOP of the food chain are living high off the hog and get golden parachutes.
Left HCA a few years back and it's the best thing I ever did..even the government owned hospital I work at now is way better than greedy HCA.

Found this while googling more info on him:

I talked briefly with Rick Scott, the chairman (and major funder) of Conservatives for Patients’ Rights, after he gave a short talk at the Heritage Foundation about his group’s efforts to create a grassroots movement against nationalized health care. After asking him about the reception he was getting for Republicans, I wanted to know whether his association with Columbia/HCA, the for-profit hospital company that he resigned from during an investigation that ended with a $1.7 billion fraud settlement, was a problem for CPR’s campaign.

TWI: Do you worry that your work at CPR could be seen as you nursing a grudge for what happened with Columbia/HCA?

RICK SCOTT: There’s no grudge. First off, if you go back and look at what we accomplished at Columbia/HCA, it was the lowest prices and best outcomes. I left and nothing happened to me. I can’t do anything about what people want to complain about. But if you look at what we’re doing, we’re doing the right things.

(snip)

TWI: People can still say, “Look, this was the guy who resigned in the biggest fraud settlement in American history.”

RICK SCOTT: But, you know, we were the biggest company. If you go back and look at the hospital industry, and the whole health care industry since the mid-1990s, it was basically constantly going through investigations. Great institutions, like ours, paid fines. It was too bad.

face about his corruption. That is why I am posting something everyday.

We cannot let him get away with this shit simply because he's a greedy SOB.
