The story is a great example of just ONE Thing wrong with the current Medical Care system that will be corrected when the full brunt of The Affordable Care Act IS implemented in 2014 on its way to a single payer system for all similar to MEDICARE!
Republican Governor Rick Scott before the stupid voters in Florida elected him their governor ran a for profit Hospital Chain.Columbia HSC,that defrauded MEDICARE and MEDICAID out of billions of dollars by submitting fraudulent claims for payment for things or services they NEVER provided to their patients.
They were busted and fined a record 1.7 billion dollars for it.
The largest fine EVER on a U.S. Corporation in history.
Republicans in Congress approve of whet these unscrupulous entities and what their Corporate owners do because they get their campaign funds from them.
That is the ONLY reason they and their corporate owners of the Medical Industrial Complex oppose The Affordable Care Act.

yes,remember we are still under the bush era health care.

Nonsense.
