“Not everyone can cheat Medicare”

The Senator of Florida, Rick Scott, claimed that reigning Americans who decided not to work have “decided” that they do not want to have health care what is used online at the fraud scandal of Medicare and Medicaid in Columbia/HCA under Scotts leadership.

During a Fox News interview on Monday, Scott defended a Republican account of the Republican House, which would reduce at least 880 billion US dollars from Medicaid's budget in the next decade and may leave an estimated 13 million Americans without insurance.

The Republicans claimed that the cuts aim to remove “waste, fraud and abuse” within the system.

“Number one is, if you don't want to work, you are the one who decided that you have no health care. This is number one,” said Scott.

“Number two: Medicaid should be for children who have no health care and people with chronic diseases,” he added, adding that he grew up in public housing and had a brother who could not take out health insurance.

“Today this child may not be able to get it because these states do. There are more money to take care of capable adults,” added Scott. However, health research has shown that the majority of Medicaid recipients in the USA are children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 years.

Social media users criticized Scott that they had accused Americans of having cheated the government through the Medicaid program and pointed out that his former company, Columbia/HCA, was found to be guilty. In 2002, Columbia/HCA, while Scott worked as CEO, became dependent on a historical agreement of over 1.7 billion US dollars against the federal government for Medicare fraud.

The Board of Directors put on Scott to step down as CEO. He left a handling of 9.88 million US dollars and 10 million shares.

“We should hear Rick Scott. Nobody knows about Medicare fraud more than Rick Scott,” joked an X user.

“Not everyone can cheat and then fail Medicare,” added another. Scott has started a number of successful healthcare companies since he left Columbia/HCA in 2002, which made him one of the richest congress members.

“The man who cheated on Medicare” added one user.

“Sure, Mr. 'I cheated Medicare' @senrickscott,” commented another user sarcastic.
