Healthcare and Bobbleheads

This Seriously Stinks

     Florida Governor Rick Scott has (3/14/2016) just removed the only two* District Commissioners with the knowledge and ability to  fathom the current chaos at the tax-supported North Broward Hospital District - one of the  ten largest public hospital systems in the nation.
    Not sure what this means.
    Although I'm deeply troubled by Scott's history as a man who earned his millions (and ability to self-finance his campaign for the Governor's office) as the puppet master founder of the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) - from which he bailed shortly before the Feds slammed his creation with the biggest health care fraud conviction in the nation's history.
    Anyhow..
    Now Scott's political bobbleheads are running the show at the $1.9 billion public health care system 
    Oh yes.
    Dig deep enough and I'm sure you'll find Scott's long-standing Broward-based HCA Lobbyist Billy Rubin and political sidekick Ken Jenne (of convicted Broward Sheriff jail time fame) involved in all this.
    And  Broward State Attorney Mike Satz says there's no need for a local Grand Jury to look into this local health care train wreck.
    Which is why Courthouse folk call him Mike Sitz.
