4. Rick Scott took $300 million

Randy Schultz

When the federal investigation of Rick Scott’s former hospital company became public in 1997, the board of Columbia/HCA forced him out. Scott left with $300 million in stock, a $5.1 million severance and a $950,000-per-year consulting contract for five years ...

In its settlement with the government, the company admitted to 14 felonies related to fraudulent billing and practices. Most happened under Scott’s leadership.

Columbia/HCA gave kickbacks to doctors so they would refer patients. Columbia/HCA made patients look sicker than they were, so Medicare would pay more. Columbia/HCA kept two sets of books.

The settlement required Columbia/HCA to pay $1.7 billion in fines, then the largest health care fraud case in the country. Scott departed a year after Time magazine named him one of America’s 25 most influential people ...

Apparently, however, Scott’s business model depended on cheating ...

7. He is a never ending embarrassment for

Florida. Unbelievable that my fellow Floridians thought he would be a good senator when he was POS governor.

8. I've been voting in Florida for decades and almost every time...

...I've observed there is something going on to either keep or discourage democrats or minorities from voting.

23. More on Scott's record in Florida.

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/fl-op-column-randy-schultz-florida-health-care-rick-scott-20180529-story.html

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just reported that the rate of Floridians without health insurance rose again last year, to 20.1 percent from 19.8 percent. Since Scott took office in 2011, Florida has ranked near the bottom on access to basic health coverage.

It gets worse. The Commonwealth Fund just ranked Florida above only Louisiana, Oklahoma and Mississippi, based on a study of 43 health care metrics. Commonwealth ranked Florida below average in the South, which was by far the worst region.
