Scumbag of the week

cheri1122 · Oct 20, 2014

Reading about Rick Scott, & HCA is absolutely nauseating. This cretin is admired and held up as an example of a "successful" businessman! [Only if the business involves cheating, lying, and fraud.]
Equally disgusting is the current series in the Miami Herald about hospitals charging 'trauma fees'. The fees are justifiable, but the amounts are not, particularly the $32 K charged by HCA to simply walk into a Trauma Center.
Everything that's wrong with medical bills, insurance payments, government, and business is coalesced in this one amoral man.

Terrible. Just terrible. We should put the government in charge of healthcare and this will all stop.

Don't worry. There's still hope for you as long as you see grass and not roots.

You are SO right! Just look how good a job they are doing with health care over at the VA! It would be a GOOD thing if everyone in the country had care like that!

No winners here for people in Florida. We have Rick Scott & Charlie Crist for governor. One is just as bad as the other. Both are "scumbags".

That is about the same thing here. "scumbags" rule. Here we have a choice of a "middle leftist", Rick Snyder, and a far left, Obama style Marxist, Mark Schauer.

Just like all elections of late we have a choice between drug resistant tuberculosis and terminal brain cancer.
