FL Gov. Rick Scott's drug testing policy stirs suspicion (A gift to his Solantic walk-in clinics)

Gov. Rick Scott's drug testing policy stirs suspicion, March 26, 2011


Why suspicion? It's really quite simple.


It's because this criminal is using it to pad his bottom line at his (now in his wife's name) Solantic walk-in clinics.

One of the more popular services at Solantic, the urgent care chain co-founded by Florida Gov. Rick Scott, is drug testing, according to Solantic CEO Karen Bowling.

Given Solantic's role in that marketplace, critics are again asking whether Scott's policy initiatives - this time, requiring drug testing of state employees and welfare recipients - are designed to benefit Scott's bottom line.

The Palm Beach Post reported in an exclusive story two weeks ago that while Scott divested his interest in Solantic in January, the controlling shares went to a trust in his wife's name.

This raised a groundswell of concern and questions about his health policy initiatives, especially his push to move Medicaid into private HMOs. Solantic does not take Medicaid but does business with private Medicaid HMOs. The questions are growing louder with Scott's executive order on drug testing.

.....

This defrauder of Medicare needs to be behind bars.


Criminals are running Florida's government.


And Justice has been chained up and buried alive.

1. The U.S. pays lip service to the idea of justice...

The wealthy and well-connected are immune - while the poor, minorities and counter-culture are targeted.

Maybe Florida's criminal governor will wake up a few sleeping ninnies.

2. the corruption is so blatant

it's examples like this that make me wonder if we haven't already fallen off the cliff entirely.

[Pacifist Patriot]

15. Exactly

The blatant power and money grab going on is simply mind numbing.

[mod mom]

3. How convenient for him. "behind bars" is correct.

4. Once the bush family got their grubby little hands on Fl. it has gone

downhill fast..and parts of tx also...

5. The message is simple...NEVER FOR FOR REPUBLICANS,,,THEY LIE CHEAT STEAL

6. No fair! You can't blame a bloke for wanting to make a buck off 'is 'onest name.

On the other hand, you can call a guy who betrays his elected office: Traitor.

Thank you for the heads-up, seafan. If this guy gets away with this, we really may be past the point of no return.



How's Leura Canary doin' deze dase?

8. Leura Canary ain't singin' like one. Yet.

It pays to keep an eye on this list.


Dark days for Justice, my friend.

You reckon we'll live long enough to see Her restored?

9. Two years ago, yes, I had hoped things in the DoJ would change.

Now, it seems like everybody gets to make a choice.

Everybody who is somebody, dat is. So, I'm not so sure with the time remaining thing.



Thank you for that list. Some things and people never change.

Amazing how these Skull & Bones types know how to play the nukyooler game.
After a couple of generations, no one will remember Dallas or the coup against FDR
or any time before their Reich.

10. And thank you for never letting our history die. Great link.

Some days it hurts too much to absorb what has happened to us since 1963, Octafish.


But we will fight these fascists together, every one of us. The alternative is unthinkable.


There are a bunch of us still left who care.

7. Hit, loot, and run...

[lib2DaBone]

11. Why would the people of Florida elect a guy that stole Billions from medicare?

.. and to boot.. Florida has a high percentage of retired people. They voted against their own best interest (ala Fox News and Rush Limbaugh)

You can't fix stupid. Yet, the Stupid is going to effect us all with their NeoCon visions of conquest and oil.

13. K&R

[Hannah Bell]

14. these guys are such blatant thieves. it's hard to believe that people aren't up in arms

at this point.
