Rick Scott went to NY to do Trump's dirty work for him

Rick Scott just happens to show up to say exactly the same sort or threats Trump has been forbidden with the gag order.

Criminal conspiracy between the two to disobey the gag order?

will line up to do the same. Expect cameos from elise, marge, ron, tim, and maybe even kristi. I agree that it is a sneaky tactic.

They would push their own mothers into oncoming traffic for just one of the little bones he throws their way. They would literally crawl on their bellies for a scrap of power. Hillary was right. They were and are deplorable.

Rick Scott, Chairman and CEO of Columbia/HCA

Medicare billing practices lawsuit

In 1993, lawsuits were filed against HCA by former employees who alleged that the company had engaged in questionable Medicare billing practices.[8] In 1997, with a federal investigation by the FBI, the IRS and the Department of Health and Human Services in its early stages, the Columbia/HCA board of directors forced Rick Scott to resign as chairman and CEO amid growing evidence that the company "had kept two sets of books, one to show the government and one with actual expenses listed."[8] Thomas Frist, a co-founder of HCA and brother of U.S. Senator Bill Frist, returned to the company as CEO in 1997[8] and called on longtime friend and colleague Jack O. Bovender, Jr. to help him turn the company around.[54]

The federal probe culminated in 2003 with "the government receiving a total of over $2 billion in criminal fines and civil penalties for systematically defrauding federal health care programs."[55] Columbia/HCA pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and admitted to systematically overcharging the government. The federal probe has been referred to as the longest and costliest investigation for health-care fraud in U.S. history.[54]

Anti-socialist horseshit fear mongering, full of lies and hyperbole.

He’s truly a piece of garbage.

He paid a fine, but still made enough money to become the richest man in the Senate.
