Impressions of Rick Scott Commercial

[mvy]

The ads come on so often they turn you against the candidates. I'm to the point where I can't stand the sight of him let alone vote for him!

I thought it was a joke the first time I saw the ad- like Dargvader had left on the Jon Stewart show or something. Then I saw the ad again. Really people, Rick Scott? Surely the FL GOP has someone less criminal?

I think most citizens are intelligent enough to interpret what is proposed to them successfully.

I respectfully disagree. I think that the majority of the people in the USA will believe most of the garbage fed to them by politicians, newspapers, and television.

I do agree that you can learn something about a candidate when they sling mud, but acting cordial alone, doesn't win my vote.

The guy is one long string of business successes. Quite an impressive professional record.

maybe you need to look a bit beyond Wikipedia for your data, Shopper.

He tries to say he accepted responsibility for the actions of his company, but he did not quit, he was fired. He says HCA hospitals were graded higher and provided better service at a lower cost, but he stole. I don't get it, I guess if your successful things become screwed up with regards to what is right or wrong. Its obvious we as a society have really messed up, what we will accept as qualified. Scary

we could sure use his head to help plug the oil leak

I think we're going to need to do some digging on that one.

As for the alleged claim that HCA hospitals provide quality health care at low costs, I'm calling shennanigans on that one. There are a number of insurers who won't write policies in Okaloosa County because HCA has an effective monopoly on hospitalization for the area south of I-10 and charges monopoly prices that were described in the late 90s as 'highest hospital charges in the Southeast' for many common procedures. As for quality, Fort Walton Beach Medical Center thoroughly deserves its horrible reputation, and I am overjoyed that Sacred Heart Emerald Coast has come to offer a higher qaulity option in the area.

Although I am not a fan of the Fort Walton Beach ER, I recently did a stint in their ICU and their version of a step down unit, the quality of care was first rate and the staff was great. I wouldn't go to the ER unless it was my last resort.
