Scott has his own battle scars from the Clinton years. The then head of Columbia/HCA, Scott coordinated private health providers to fight Clintoncare and he won. More than a decade later, having left Columbia/HCA under questionable circumstances, Scott was charging again against Obamacare.Scott and I share the distinction of both being attacked from the White House press room by Robert Gibbs. Scott’s was coordinated by the Center for American Progress and other left-wing groups.

But Rick Scott is a conservative hero in his own right for organizing the health care establishment to fight and kill Hillarycare.What is aggravating to me is that McCollum is now attacking Scott based on what the Democrats did to punish him for opposing Hillarycare. Using left-wing Center for American Progress talking points

Here’s the gist of the major attack, though there are others: After Clintoncare failed, the Clinton Administration started getting extremely specific about the interpretation and application of over 100,000 pages of Medicare regulations.Then the Clintons started picking off, one by one, every health care provider that fought them.

In 1992, there were just ~600 Medicare investigations

By 1996, there were ~2,200 Medicare investigations (4x increase)

In 1997, there were over 100,000 pages of Medicare Regulations

By 1998, the government announced a program to assist hospitals in fraud prevention

The government was criticized in the media for classifying simple mistakes as “fraud.”

Dozens of prestigious health care institutions paid millions in fines, including Yale Hospital, Duke University Hospital, Harvard University Hospitals, University of Chicago Hospitals, Johns Hopkins, and industry giants Tenet and Columbia/HCA

DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR
