Will Scott Run Florida Health Like HCA?

Perhaps it isn't surprising that Rick Scott would hold so much animosity toward the Department of Health, what with all that meddling and fining the government did based on the way he managed his private hospital chain. Based on that, I guess it is no surprise that his most scathing assessments of current state leaders has been of Ana Viamonte Ros.

She seems to be the first head to roll with this transition, although Scott certainly has no obligation to keep any department secretaries. But I want to know how a man with a record Medicare fraud fine is going to install anyone into that position without it looking like an injection of chronyism?

This is where we will begin regretting the election of a new governor who really ought to be pounding license plates for the State of Florida, not occupying the governor's mansion.

The question now is not what he will do to screw up health care in Florida, but whether the citizens of this fine state can take any of his so-called reforms seriously. Good luck with that.
