Right now, Rick Scott and Bill Nelson are tied in the polls for a Senate seat. How this is possible after all of the horrible things Rick Scott has done to our state is beyond me. Rick Scott is somehow always involved in the worst things going on in our nation: allowing the NRA to pave the way for the largest gun massacres in our history, expanding Stand Your Ground, giving Trump political cover after his abhorrent defense of Nazis in Charlottesville, or his bizarre attacks on the FBI. His involvement with the recent family separation tragedy is no exception. In Homestead, Florida, a federal compound detaining around 1000 kids is managed by a Florida contractor called Comprehensive Health Services. They got the contract a few weeks before Trump’s inhumane policy took effect. Ten percent of the children there have been forcibly separated from their parents by immigration agents. This was a facility that was shut down years ago, but re-opened in time for Trump’s child kidnapping policy. Why are they operating here in Florida? You can thank Rick Scott. The facility was given $600,000 as a tax-incentive. And it gets even worse: But just as Scott was negotiating that tax break, Comprehensive Health was hashing out a deal with the feds to pay a $3.8 million settlement to the U.S. Department of Justice over a medical-fraud claim. After Comprehensive Health paid the fine in February 2017 (without admitting any wrongdoing), Florida gave the company the tax breaks anyway. Of course, Rick Scott is never bothered by fraud. We are talking about the same man who once defrauded millions of elderly people with the largest Medicare fraud in history. Read more
