Gov. Rick Scott in trouble for lying about Obamacare's cost

[soulflower]

When liars lie and get caught:

“AHCA’s report concluded that adding people to Medicaid under the new law would cost Florida $26 billion over 10 years,” said Scott’s aide Melissa Sellers. “Others have asked AHCA to use different assumptions to calculate different cost estimates. We look forward to reviewing those cost estimates as well.”

Castor accused Scott — a former hospital executive who rose to national prominence in 2009 while campaigning against the ACA — of deliberately deceiving Floridians.

“Not only did Gov. Scott manufacture flawed cost estimates, but it appears he had been advised that the numbers were flawed and used them anyway,” Castor said in a statement. “Florida Legislative Appropriations staff advised the governor’s office that the numbers were misleading, but it appears that the governor ignored it. … Clearly this was not a mistake. Knowing that the numbers are wrong and using them anyway is.”

As head of the mammoth Columbia/HCA hospital chain in the 1990s, Scott acknowledges, he was "responsible'' for what became the largest Medicare fraud case in U.S. history, totaling $1.7 billion.

Scott is experienced in lying/cheating/stealing in the health arena.

And he surrounds himself with people of equally high ethical standards. Having this guy as an enemy is a badge of honor.

If Obama can't find it, how do you expect me to find it?

Two Years Later—The ObamaCare Lies Continue

"Fact: The current Congressional Budget Office report pegs the 10-year cost of ObamaCare at $1.7 trillion. The only way Obama could get his price tag down so low is by putting off the start date by four years. Once Obama-Care fully kicks in, it will add $260 billion a year, and rising, to the budget.

"To help ensure that everyone can afford the cost of a health care option in our exchange, we need to provide assistance to families who need it. That way, there will be no reason at all for anyone to remain uninsured."

Fact: Despite spending $800 billion to subsidize premiums in the government-run exchanges, over the next 10 years, along with $931 billion in new Medicaid costs, ObamaCare will still leave 27 million — or 10% of the population — uninsured, according to the CBO.

That governor is pretty scummy.

He reduced the number of days to vote, aimed particularly at "Black Churches", in an attempt to win the state for Republicans. But to do that, he had to make it harder for ALL Floridians to vote.

So whether you believe the reason or not, the fact remains he cut the number of days they could vote in half... why? He's literally made it more difficult to express your opinion as a citizen in Florida. That alone should put him on a short duration in office.
