Rick Scott: Unsung Conservative Hero of the Health Care Debate
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 8:49 AM
I've got a profile up of Rick Scott, the former hospital industry executive who has been stirring up much of the angst about ObamaCare.

"During the investigation, HCA was acquired by Columbia Healthcare and continued its rapid expansion under founder Richard Scott. He resigned in 1997 amid mounting evidence that HCA had kept two sets of books, one to show the government and one with actual expenses listed. Thomas Frist — a co-founder of HCA and brother of Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn. — replaced Scott and remains on the board.

Under the agreement, HCA must pay the government $631 million, plus interest, and pay $17.5 million to state Medicaid agencies. As previously announced, HCA also has to pay $250 million to resolve outstanding Medicare expense claims."

That's some hero you have there...

the real crime is that the goverment has the authority to make anyone open their books based upon income ,the income tax is nothing more than theft .
