Friendly reminder that Rick Scott was the CEO of HCA at the time that HCA committed the largest fraud in Medicare history. He then pleaded the 5th SEVENTY FIVE TIMES in his Congressional deposition, took a $350 million settlement to leave the company, and is now a senator representing Florida. Maybe we should start there.
As beautiful as Florida is on many levels, the political state of Florida is truly ugly and frightening on many levels... I hope the REAL fraudsters are finally charged, tried, and convicted... and that includes Scott, DeSantis, among their other cohorts.
Yeah Rick Scott immediately came to mind.. but new and old they keep voting for the Rs. The good ol’ boy (and lately apparently girl) network is alive and well!! Consequently more guns and child molesters .. cheaters and grifters per square mile than any other state. I learned that my first month here 35 years ago when an unlicensed uninsured drunk driver /. Ran a red light. T-boned me and when it finally got to court the judge. Complete with his Florida southern accent said. Now I know this boys daddy and he’s promised to keep
Him in line. And you’re insured and not seriously injured So this will be taken care of by insurance. Case dismissed. This kind of stuff happened so often. It was the birth of MORGAN AND MORGAN.
Hi J.C., I have been receiving your emails for some time, and I assumed it was some sort of click bait or right-wing propaganda, so I never bothered to read it. This morning I decided to read it, and I was relieved to see that someone wasn't making excuses for professional Florida grifters. I am going to upgrade to a paid subscription. Your writing is so clear and concise, and very easy to understand. If I wasn't college educated, I would still be able to understand it. We really need that kind of messaging. It is clear and informative, not manipulative, or produced to be so wonky that your average voter can't understand it. I'm really glad I read it this morning. Getting out my credit card now!

yes if the lavender soap works for you, can you let me know? You got me interested to try it. I did try the one of putting raw onion slices near to your head while you are sleeping. Supposedly it helps you recover from sickness. Didnt seem to work And if you put the soap under one leg, will it be better but not the other leg? So you need two bars of soap? Just wondering. Oh yeah, health fraud in Florida. Good article. Though whenever you mention De Santis "supposedly funneling 10 million to his anti mariuana campaign" always gets my goat. I hope they are continuing on that case OPENLY. Thanks
Why? Maybe tRUmp wants to make sure his successor -- should he decide not to illegally run again -- has a clear path with no interference from the out-of-work (then) former Governor DeSatan.
Hey, he's learning well from his boss...every accusation of their's is a confession. In other words, everything they accuse others of doing, THEY are doing and have long done themselves.
To the best of my knowledge, only $350 million in fraud has been proven to date. While it is true that Trump administration prosecutors allege much greater levels of fraud, that has yet to be substantiated and Minnesota officials push back on those numbers.
Actually it does not need to be lavender soap at all, it seems that any kind of bar soap will do, and it is suggested to place it under the bottom sheet near one's feet. And of course, nothing works for everyone, but it has for me and others. Reason is unknown although there are multiple theories. Never knew that Dr. Oz even knew about it; better to refer to free and interesting The Peoples' Pharmacy website. Certainly worth an inexpensive try. If it doesn't work for you just use it to wash your hands. CgD
I love your column! In this time of depression and futility, the real news and your take on it is a ray of sunshine. I share your column to all I know here in Florida. Thank you!
Im glad you brought up about Florida’s failure to expand Medicaid coverage and the 400k children affected. Even if children are covered by Medicaid,there are a limited amount of pediatric healthcare providers who will accept it. It is challenging for the parents to navigate finding the Medicaid-covered provider or possibly not having transportation to the facility. There are pediatric health care deserts in low income areas and that’s not even considering if the child has a condition that requires a specialist or mental health service.
I put a bar of lavender soap by my pillow because the smell is relaxing and helps me fall asleep, sometimes though not reliably. I did not know this was received wisdom--I just happened to have a bar of lavender soap. Lavender is often used is eye pillows etc. so you figure it can't hurt. I have never had restless leg syndrome and it appears that Dr. Oz is just a witch.

Mayo clinic in Jacksonville prescribed iron to stop my RLS. Not the puny pill supplements but an IV bag of iron. It worked!

It is in the BILLIONS of Fraud in Minnesota. Why did you say just "millions"????
We tax payers are paying for it.... why are you minimizing it???
