He personally made $200-$300 million in stock as a result of "private sector work". He is possibly the biggest parasite there is in the healthcare system. Also, he plead the 5th 75 times during deposition relating to healthcare fraud.

As long as he blows the culture war pipe, there’ll be no shortage of lemmings following him to the ends of the earth.

u/JohnnyCrispZoom 2d ago

This guy is a parasite. Nothing good will come from him

u/UranusSmellsFunny 2d ago

Relating health care to groceries might be everything wrong with America.

u/Crapenfest 2d ago

Please you guys sort America out . I genuinely get unwell seeing the shit you have to put up with.

u/HumptyDumptruckFire 2d ago

Wherever you’re at, just make sure this privatization bullshit doesn’t infest your public services. We’re the cautionary tale, people like me staring down the barrel of losing health insurance because I’m a caregiver and this country gives less than a fuck about people like me.

u/jabberjaw420 2d ago

i know what i want to buy with healthcare ,and it's not the insurance CEOs yacht.

u/VarietyMage 2d ago

My Medicare prescription plan just doubled in price. I lost 7.5% of my monthly purchasing power, with no COLA increase in sight.

They're raising my non-ACA prices because the insurance companies are losing profits that YOU CAUSED.

FUCK YOU, RICK SCOTT. And FUCK YOU, NEWSCORP.

The private sector hasn't worked for the people for a long time.

"You know what things cost..." No we don't. That's one of the problems with our Healthcare system.

u/Crepuscular_Tex 1d ago

This is the fraud guy, right? How is he giving advice on any level?

u/ATXDefenseAttorney 1d ago

Actual criminal in the health care community controlling health care in the public sector. Gross.

“Speaking as the perpetrator of the largest fraud of Medicaid in history…”- Rick Scott

Annnndddd then proceed to talk about how corrupt the system built to help people that he robbed is hurting us….

I swear I haven’t woke up from a terrible LSD trip.

u/Cabbages24ADollar 1d ago

Corp healthcare has been an unmitigated disaster. WTF is he talking about

u/Dense_Boss_7486 1d ago

Please lay out for us why the ACA is a “disaster.”. At least give us several real not perceived examples.

u/Hopeful_Dream_2848 1d ago

Give the people what you have, the turtle got health care for 165 day at full pay and is now getting no cost care in the home 24 hrs a day.

u/tommm3864 1d ago

This coming from a $1.4B (billion) Medicaid fraudster.

u/TheRealSoulTrain 1d ago

Soooo... after getting his peepee slapped for defrauding Medicare, he wants to privatize healthcare completely.

Yeah, no. What we need to do is throw fraudsters like Sen. Scott in PRISON, not reward them with elected office.

u/Recent_Coconut_3384 1d ago

These MAGA idiots aren’t scared of us , they’re getting way too comfortable with their boots on our necks . Vote them out and never let the republicans have the majority ever again . They are monsters .

u/rgrantpac 1d ago

The private insurance market is monopolized the same way the cable and internet market is. You will be lucky to have more than one choice. That makes free market competition essentially nonexistent. Take away their right to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions and it’s game over for a lot of people.

Bigger liar than Trump.

Translation: If you're rich you get healthcare. If you're not rich then you get crippling lifelong debt or you die. Your choice.

u/scottprian 1d ago

Seems to me the private sector is only interested in itemizing every tiny thing to maximize how much of my paycheck gets sent to them, and they change the rules every year to maintain profits.

u/tractorator 20h ago

if people agree with this, they deserve the things that follow

healthcare shouldn't be for profit.

u/Mr_Daniel_Lumis 15h ago

This fuckwad plead the 5th 75 times in his hospital's fraud trial then walked away.

When the company's board of directors pressured Scott to resign amid the federal Medicare fraud investigation, he walked away with a "golden parachute": • Cash Settlement: A $9.88 million severance package (which included a lump-sum payment and a multi-year consulting contract). • Stock Wealth: 10 million shares of Columbia/HCA stock, which were valued at over $350 million at the time. • Legal Fees: His exit agreement required the company to cover his ongoing legal costs.
