Richard Scott the MEDICAID FRAUD THIEF writes to President....PLEASE !

"Mr. President, Americans don’t want surprises…Please tell us the specifics of
your plan so that all Americans can make a judgment on it for themselves."

The epitome of Fraud Waste and Abuse---Richrd Scott & Richard Rainwater!

Summary: The Wall Street Journal reported that Richard Scott, "the former chief executive of HCA Inc," had formed the non-profit organization Conservatives for Patients' Rights as part of a "lobbying campaign to derail or modify" President Obama's health care proposals, but failed to note that Scott resigned from HCA in 1997 amid a federal investigation into the company's Medicare billing, physician recruiting, and home-care practices. HCA eventually pleaded guilty to fraud charges and paid approximately $1.7 billion in fines and penalties.

Dear Mr. President:
Americans generally agree that our health care system is too expensive.
You made health care a centerpiece of your campaign and just last week announced a sweeping
$634 billion plan to reform our nation’s health care system. While you were very specific
about how you would pay for this plan, you offered virtually no details on your plan itself.
One of our basic rights as consumers is to be able to shop and compare. As taxpayers, we should have
the ability to not only know the cost of your plan, but the specifics of what we get out of your plan.
That is the only way Americans can make an informed decision.
As you convene your health care summit at the White House, we call upon you to lay out the
details and specifics of your plan for all to see. We are entitled to a healthy debate on how
your plan will impact each of us.
Many Americans are leery about allowing the government to have a more significant role in
making private health care decisions that should only be made by a patient and their doctor.
Americans learned that buried deep inside your stimulus plan was a very ominous sounding
“Federal Coordinating Council.” This “Council” could have a very far reaching impact on
how our doctors treat us in the future.
Mr. President, Americans don’t want surprises. And we don’t want national boards or faceless
bureaucrats taking away our rights to make our own health decisions in the name of
controlling costs.
Sharing the details of your plan is the best way to allay our fears and end the speculation. Please
tell us the specifics of your plan so that all Americans can make a judgment on it for themselves.
Respectfully,
Rick Scott
