Rick Scott Reveals Republicans Are Absolutely Cutting Medicare

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Notorious Medicare thief and Republican Senator Rick Scott is the only one who wants to admit that his GOP colleagues are plotting to gut an essential health care program.

During an appearance at the Rescuing the American Dream Summit in Washington Thursday, Scott said it was only a matter of time before the government would have to cut spending to “any program you care about.”

“Because Medicare is going bankrupt, Social Security is going bankrupt. You know, inflation can’t go away, interest rates can’t come down. So, my belief is that … we’re gonna have to do this,” the Florida Republican said.

Scott knows a thing or two about bankrupting Medicare. He served as CEO of Columbia/HCA Hospital, which was fined a total of $1.7 billion in 2003 for filing false Medicare claims. At the time, it was the largest health care fraud in history, and while that particular honor has since been passed to another, Scott’s honor remains unrestored.

3. If you defraud Medicare aren't you ineligible?

I worked for an NGO that was paid Medicaid and Medicare funds for services. It was in our yearly trainings that we personally could be ineligible if we defrauded those programs like over billing or billing for services not provided.
Isn't that what his company did when HE WAS CEO?

With what I read about his company's fraud on the system shouldn't he personally be ineligible for Medicare?

Someone should ask him sometime.
And if true shouldn't he recuse himself from all debates, decisions, and discussions and voting on the matter?
