Rick Scott jumped into the Florida GOP gubernatorial primary, calling himself “pro-life,” when he profited by running a hospital chain that performs abortions. Scott’s Republican rival, Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, explains:

“In his most egregious attempt yet to run from questions of his role in overseeing massive Medicare fraud, Rick Scott is now claiming he is a ‘pro-life leader’ who allegedly believes ‘every life is worth defending’. Unfortunately for some, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. “As the disgraced CEO of Columbia/HCA, Rick Scott profited from elective abortions performed at his hospitals. He can say he’s pro-life, but when he could have created a ‘culture of life’ policy to stop abortions, he didn’t

McCollum came out against AZ law like Marco Rubio, Crist, Jeb Bush, Connie Mack and all the FL RINO scum. I used to like McCollum. Sad.

I am not sure about Rick Scott but it is a large hospital chain and they may not have been able to deny abortions.

Rick Scott is total scum. He has been accused of medicare Fraud and excluded from medicare reimbursement from what I understand. He started a chain of urgent care clinics called Solantic where quality is very suspect and based on a retail model of medicine where center managers were from retail and attempted to dictate medical therapeutics to staff physicians. For his company, solantic that is, it was all about the bottom line, and I, for one, as a physician, will actively work to oppose this total piece of garbage. In the event that he is the nominee, I will most certainly vote third party or write in. I would be embarrassed to have this slimy snake oil salesman win any elected office beyond inmate of the year in the federal penitentary.

I have been curious about him since his commercials began airing. While on a trip last weekend, I read an article in the St. Pete paper that he is quickly gaining a large following. I know nothing about him; I’ve only lived in Fla for 3 years (from Alabama). His commercials are quite convincing. Where could I find out more about him?

Thanks for finding and posting this. I’ve been looking for more info on this aspect, having received literature from both campaigns and wondering where the truth lies on it.

We need to add keywords Bill McCollum and Rick Scott so people can follow these developments more easily; the FR keyword search I did is way behind on these candidates (turned up on google advanced search).

And then he will lose the general. He is a crook. Folks do not vote for this man. Read for yourselves and get the facts on Scott's healthcare corruption. His company was fined $1.7 billion dollars for medicare fraud.

Here is Scott's latest lawsuit, this lawsuit will cost him the race
