Your "guarantee" means NOTHING.

Of course FL Senator Rick Scott (R) oversaw one of the LARGEST Medicare FRAUDS in HISTORY.

Quote

Rick Scott was CEO of Columbia/HCA, a hospital chain that paid the largest healthcare fraud fine in history ($1.7 billion) after settling with the government in 2000 for Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The company admitted to illegal practices, including providing kickbacks to physicians for referrals, billing for services not rendered, and overcharging Medicare. While no senior executives were criminally charged, Scott was investigated and the company underwent intense scrutiny and corporate oversight. 

 

Key details of the case

• The company: Columbia/HCA, then the nation's largest for-profit hospital chain, with Rick Scott as CEO.
• The allegations: The company was accused of a wide range of fraudulent activities, including kickbacks to doctors for patient referrals, billing for unnecessary or non-existent services, and overcharging Medicare.
• The settlement: Columbia/HCA settled the case, paying a record $1.7 billion in fines, refunds, and lawsuit settlements.
• The outcome for executives: No senior executives, including Rick Scott, were criminally charged.
• The outcome for the company: The company was forced to sign a Corporate Integrity Agreement that subjected it to intense government scrutiny until 2009 and was later renamed HCA—The Healthcare Company.
• Scott's response: In political campaigns, Scott has been attacked over the issue but has also stated that he refuses to apologize for his success, notes Politico.

So what, I don't care who is doing the fraud it needs to be investigated and stopped. Same thing with welfare fraud. Women with a boyfriend that lives with her that has a job yet she gets full snap benefits and section 8.

What you care about means NOTHING. Every Medicare payment should be vetted. It's the vendors or suppliers who are cheating the system and Senator Rick Scott's HOSPITAL was one of the biggest offenders.

What YOU care about is bad for everyone, so it's best you keep your pie hole shut.
