Related: About this forumFlorida Gov. Rick Scott to visit Trump Tower on Thursday
TALLAHASSEE Gov. Rick Scott will be flying to New York on Thursday to meet with President-elect Donald Trump in Trump Tower.
He wants to congratulate [Trump] on his big win and help him reinvent the federal government, said Scott spokeswoman Jackie Schutz.
Scott was an early supporter of Trump and ran a super PAC that raised $20 million for TV ads.
Because Scott was one of Trump's top supporters nationally, his political stock has risen. There was immediate speculation that he was on a short list for jobs in the Trump administration, but he has said he wants to finish his final two years as governor.

Rick Scott Wikipedia
He resigned as chief executive of Columbia/HCA in 1997, amid a controversy over the company's business and Medicare billing practices. He was succeeded by Thomas F. Frist Jr.Columbia/HCA ultimately admitted to fourteen felonies and agreed to pay the federal government over $600 million, which was the largest fraud settlement in US history. Scott was not implicated and no charges were leveled against him personally.[4][5][6][7][8] Scott later became a venture capitalist.
Scott announced his intention to run for governor of Florida, in 2010. He defeated Bill McCollumin the vigorously contested Republican primary election and narrowly defeated Democraticnominee Alex Sink in a close race in the general election, spending roughly $75 million of his own money in the process.[9] In 2014, he won re-election over former Republican turned Democraticchallenger, former governor Charlie Crist and several third-party and/or independent candidates

After all, he does have a lot of experience with (defrauding) Medicare.
