1. Rick Scott must be heartbroken.

[HockeyMom]

2. He can become Governor just like Rick Scott

His "career" is just beginning.

[sakabatou]

3. Ooook

Uh, your bottom half makes no sense (the Roy thing).

[skypilot]

5. If we're looking at the same thing...

...I think it's to show that the doctor was a contributing member of the Tea Party.

[PA Democrat]

6. Looks like the formatting got messed up during the cut and paste

but it shows a bunch of contributions by the "good" doctor to the tea party.

What a shock. A guy who makes a ton of money STEALING from the government, does not then want to have to pay taxes on his STOLEN money.

[sakabatou]

12. Yeah, the formatting was screwy but him being a TPer makes sense

[Sancho]

4. none of these people ever go to jail...

he probably has the same memory as Rick Scott...

[Sheepshank]

7. And yet so many here also did not want tweeking done (investigation) to Medicare * Medicaid

instead hollering that it was all about benefit cuts

[TreasonousBastard]

9. And yet this is the program they want for everyone.

[LanternWaste]

13. Do we then blame the program for the criminal's behavior?

Do we then blame the program for the criminal's behavior?

[SomethingFishy]

17. Yeah it is.

And saying there is something wrong with it because some hypocritical, lying, criminal piece of shit scammed it is like the Republican attacks on "Welfare Queens"...

There is always going to be some scammer out there. The point is to keep it to a minimum, not to kill the goddamn program over it.

[Dawson Leery]

8. More tea party fraud!

[Maine-ah]

10. our state speaker of the house

bilked medicaid (Mainecare) for a shit load too. Robert Nutting received over $1m in over payments from the program (his pharmacy) and never paid it back. His pharmacy went bankrupt in 2003.

11. Wow! This qualifies him to be Gingrich's running mate!

[lpbk2713]

14. There's a bright future ahead for him.

He should establish residency in Florida and run for Governor.

[BlueToTheBone]

15. Restitution!

I hope we can recover some of that money. Probably have to auction off he crappy taste ver priced crap for pennies on the dollar.

[ArtiChoke]

16. Do you ever notice...

...how the right uses Medicare fraud as though it's the poor bilking the system and yet the biggest crooks are always some touch-hole provider?

[lpbk2713]

19. Rick Scott got away with Millions.

And he laughed all the way to the bank.

He used part of it to finance his campaign for Governor.
He wouldn't have been elected otherwide.

[mopinko]

18. god damn that obama administration!

can't they do anything right??
