The Shameful Case of Rick Scott and Healthcare Fraud



This is the story, not so much of Rick Scott, but his company Colombia/HCA, at its height the ninth largest employer in America and the biggest healthcare company in the world. It committed massive systematic fraud, which ended with what was the largest fraud settlement in US history. Bribes for doctors, turning away the sick, stealing from the taxpayer. You don’t get rich from helping the needy.
