There was an Old Man – Chuckles G. Who said, “The attention's on me! No matter what's right, I'll put up a fight, And collect my Insurance Money.”
Chuck then cried, “No socialism! Government Care is a prison!" Obama then said, “Money's gone to Chuck's head, This plan's the same as his'n.”
Sure, Chuck had Government Care. But Chuckles did not want to share “Want Health Care, you slob? Get a government job. I think that that's perfectly fair.”

quote:From a document entitled "Fast Facts about Rick Scott."
quote:
Started Columbia Hospital in 1987, buying two hospitals in El Paso, Texas with an initial equity investment of $125,000.
Columbia bought HCA, Inc. in 1994, adding 100 hospitals to the company. The company changed its name to Columbia/HCA.
Under Rick’s leadership, Columbia/HCA became the world’s largest private health care provider, employing more than 285,000 people and revenues of more than $20 billion in 1997.
In 1997, Business Week named Columbia one of the 50 Best Performing Companies of the S&P 500.
Rick was named one of Time Magazine’s “25 Most Influential People of 1995.”
Also in 1995, Financial World Magazine named Rick “CEO of the Year”
In 1997, a federal raid seized records from twelve HCA locations, in conjunction with an investigation into the biggest, most systematic Medicare fraud in US history.
In 1997, Rick Scott resigned in disgrace, taking with him a $10 million golden parachute.
Also mentioned on the Conservatives for Patients' Rights website, in their mission statement:
quote:Anything that interferes with an individual’s freedom to consult their doctor of choice to make health care decisions defeats the purpose of meaningful health care reform.
quote:At a recent town hall meeting, a man stood up and told Representative Bob Inglis to “keep your government hands off my Medicare.” The congressman, a Republican from South Carolina, tried to explain that Medicare is already a government program — but the voter, Mr. Inglis said, “wasn’t having any of it.”
