i'm amazed that a man (rick scott) who oversaw the largest ever theft of medicare money won

[spanone]

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.<27><28> <29><30><31> 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.<32> In all, civil law suits cost HCA more than $2 billion to settle, by far the largest fraud settlement in US history at the

time.<33>
