Rick Scott redux! Please come CAPTION the champion of patient rights!!!!

[skip fox]

"Listen, patients should have a right to pay for their own health care when and where they want it, and if they don't have the money, they should have the dignified right not to receive it, not have it forced on them or given to them like a child or a bum."

[lumpy]

1. Did Scott really make such a ignorant statement?

If so, he is a worse ignoramous than I already believed him to be.

[skip fox]

3. At DU CAPTIONing has meant a creative take. We try to channel the person's real beliefs

to show him or her for the idiot he or she is.

[Angry Dragon]

2. I still think he looks like a penis

You can only expect when a person looks like a penis they will try to fuck everyone

[Scuba]

4. "And I should have the right to steal from the system with impunity."

[lobodons]

5. Refusal of Health Care

Those who refuse to buy health insurance under Obamacare mandates, should be refused health care when they show up in the emergency room in the future.

6. It's not a right without a choice, so the CHOICE should be between whether to receive or not to

receive care. Yes, those with more money can choose supplemental care packages, but a basic right to health care would not be dependent upon the ability to pay and part of that basic right is the right to choose to do whatever is possible to not die just yet.

Can it be ANY more obvious that there's a powerful cohort in our country that is intent upon railroading The Greatest Generation and The Boomers into their graves ASAP.

7. "Soylent Green is people."

8. "Now hiring: State-deficit minded Hospice "Care""

[hifiguy]

9. I can fully believe that and fully expect Rmoney

to actually SAY it before the election.

10. this is from the criminal who ran HCA

On March 19, 1997, investigators from the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Health and Human Services served search warrants at Columbia/HCA facilities in El Paso and on dozens of doctors with suspected ties to the company.[3] Following the raids, the Columbia/HCA board of directors forced Rick Scott to resign as Chairman and CEO.[4] He was paid a settlement of $9.88 million, and left with 10 million shares of stock worth over $350 million, mostly from his initial investment.[5][6] In 1999, Columbia/HCA changed its name back to HCA, Inc.
In settlements reached in 2000 and 2002, Columbia/HCA pleaded guilty to 14 felonies. They admitted systematically overcharging the government by claiming marketing costs as reimbursable, by striking illegal deals with home care agencies, and by filing false data about use of hospital space.

HCA also admitted fraudulently billing Medicare and other health programs by inflating the seriousness of diagnoses and to giving doctors partnerships in company hospitals as a kickback for the doctors referring patients to HCA. They filed false cost reports, fraudulently billing Medicare for home health care workers, and paid kickbacks in the sale of home health agencies and to doctors to refer patients. In addition, they gave doctors "loans" never intending to be repaid, free rent, free office furniture, and free drugs from hospital pharmacies.[7][8]

In late 2002, HCA agreed to pay the U.S. government $631 million, plus interest, and pay $17.5 million to state Medicaid agencies, in addition to $250 million paid up to that point to resolve outstanding Medicare expense claims.[9] In all, civil law suits cost HCA more than $2 billion to settle, by far the largest fraud settlement in US history.
