The people spouting off thast he is a fraud and a crook all do sound like trolls, but I think they are naive and fell for the MSM BS, they took it hook, line and sinker.

seems like a lot of Freepers even fall into this trap of voting in primaries based on polls projecting proposed winners in the general election. People that do this blindly don’t realize they are being manipulated. They need to wake up.

This is a copy of the letter that was just turned over to the feds by FDLE alleging new Mediacre fraud by Slick Rick.

“I worked for Solantic Urgent care in Jacksonville, which Mr Scott was the primary investor/ owner until he began his run for governor earlier this year. For the first four years I was there Solantic did not deal with Medicare patients since I believe Mr Scott was still banned from participation in Medicare due to his fraudulent activities with Columbia Healthcare previously. However in approximately 2006 the clinics did begin to accept Medicare patients. During my time there I personally witnessed NP’s (nurse Pract.) working many times alone in clinics and completely unsupervised. Not only was this a quality of care issue but, I believe that Medicare patients were always billed at full prices even when a physician was NOT in the office, which I feel is a violation of Medicare billing policy. It is my understanding that is a physician is NOT IN THE BUILDING, the fee must be lowered to 85% of the standard charge if the pt was seen by a NP only. I have NP’s willing to testify to this practice, and I have been told by former employees responsible for charging patients that no adjustment to charges was made to accommodate for NP’s working alone only. This may have changed after I left the company in 11 /09 and Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville became partners with Solantic. NP’s are no longer allowed to work alone as I hear it. However, that leaves a period of about two years where fraudulent billing may have taken place. Given Mr Scotts previous behavior it would be no surprise to anyone if billing was not done in an appropriate fashion.

In addition, I have written copies of charts and charges that prove that Solantic was fraudulently billing under MY NAME by billing patients seen in their Northside office on Dunn avenue using my name to bill under, even though I NEVER SAW THOSE PATIENTS ! I only worked 1 day at that office in my years with Solantic and I have charts and copies of pts being billed under me when I was not there. I understand Solantic also has a current lawsuit by a former Medical director who stated Solantic was also using his name and license for other purposes without his knowledge. I contacted Aetna insurance company since that was the primary company that I saw my name being misused, but they did not or could not follow up as I did not have Solantic’s tax ID number to give them at the time.

I am very concerned that Mr Scott will continue his record of corruption and greed and this will be catastrophic for the state of Florida if he is elected. There are also many stories of terrible quality of care, inappropriate pressure on physicians to sell drugs that Solantic has on sale in their facilities etc.

To be up front , my position was terminated suddenly with Solantic on 11/23/09 after I had confronted several of these issues. My termination was based on issues that I can’t state here since I had to get an attorney to settle a termination agreement and get Solantic to stop using my name and license AFTER I was terminated. I am a board certified family practice doc with an impeccable record of being in practice in the state of Florida since 1985. I have NEVER had any suits against me, and I am a long time registered voting Republican. “Career Scammer” Rick Scott continues to fool the regular public while earning millions of dollars at his workers expense, and delivers medical care that is only concerned with profit at all costs, his so called “Retail Medicine”. If you wish to contact me for further information please do. Thank you. Randy Prokes MD.

I am a fomer medical director for Solantic Urgent care in Jacksonville, and I have documents proving continued fraudulent billing practices by Mr Scotts companies.

Seems like you are a troll coming into threads spouting the same old thing about Scott pleading the 5th equated somehow to making him a crook or a fraud. Doesn’t the DNC have better use for you?

Good to know about Rome2000. He was spouting the same exact messages in the Florida Primary live thread, almost to the point if I compare them I may be able to spot the same grammatical errors in 2 separate threads. Glad to know he isn’t some Freeper that just doesn’t “get it”

Rome 2000 is a troll.

I know the facts inside and out .

I worked as a paid consultant for all those legal cases.

HCA execs wanted to fight RENO but the stockholders wanted to settle due to a pending merger and stock price.

You admit to being a paid consultant for Scott?

From California?

And you are casting aspersions on my character?

Why don't you do something useful, like driving a school bus full of lawyers over a cliff.

Just make sure there are no empty seats.

You out of control Dem party troll .

Move on with your Dem astroturfing.

I worked for Other insurance companies that were reviewing
their legal exposure from the out of control Reno Fed goons.

We did not work for HCA/ Colum.

The GOPer at the JD assured us the HCA case was strictly
marching orders from the Clinonites.

BCK TO TYOU , What’s it like working for a Radical Marxist Muslim ?

I got the impression that Scott pissed someone off and sicced the Feds on him. From the bit I read up on the topic, the merits of the case seemed flimsy.

Also read a year ago about a new idea he had for quick clinics- which makes sense. Get a blood draw and have it thoroughly analyzed. Cripes the blood work I had due to extreme fatigue, etc. My regular doc thought it fine. Vitamin D down to 30!

So if folks could get a good cheap blood workup and good analysis- even from a distance, people might have conditions caught a lot earlier. Hard on the surgeons and pharma industry...

Maybe Florida needs an innovative CEO to be the CEO of the State? Stinks does not seem to fit the bill.

Also, the fact this guy dumped so much of his own money on the campaign tells me he really wants the job.

But I live in Maryland, sooooo....

Not radio host; on Bay News 9 (Tampa Bay) they have a republican and a dem covering the election results- you know the way it goes. Now Bay News 9 is sister to St Petersberg Times so I figure of course they are giving the MSM view.

However, this is what people are watching down here so I just figure I would report it. I do notice, after all these years of election watching, that the powers that be in BOTH of the major parties would often rather the opposite party win than a true maverick, like Sarah Palin, from their own.

I am not big on the GOP insider crowd since I saw them close ranks behind Crist to make him governor over Gallagher several years ago. They were so pleased he won.

I watched Crist during those initial debates and I thought, this man is a true politician. Doesn’t answer one question without some mushy story to disguise that he isn’t answering anything. But the good ol boys down here wanted him and they got him.

Well now Crist is going to toast their cookies but good.

McCollum is a RINO of the highest degree. He was Rudy Ghouliani’s election boy down here in 2008. He loves reaching across the aisle so much that he even voted for the gun control Brady Bill.

If we started treated RINOs like the traitorous criminals they are, we would not be saddled with McCain right now. Throw all the RINOs out. Refuse to put them into office because they will say or do anything to get elected and remain in office. Just like McCollum did in this election.
