Notorious Medicare thief and Republican Senator Rick Scott is the only one who wants to admit that his GOP colleagues are plotting to gut an essential health care program.
During an appearance at the Rescuing the American Dream Summit in Washington Thursday, Scott said it was only a matter of time before the government would have to cut spending to "any program you care about."
"Because Medicare is going bankrupt, Social Security is going bankrupt. You know, inflation can't go away, interest rates can't come down. So, my belief is that ... we're gonna have to do this," the Florida Republican said.
Scott knows a thing or two about bankrupting Medicare. He served as CEO of Columbia/HCA Hospital, which was fined a total of $1.7 billion in 2003 for filing false Medicare claims. At the time, it was the largest health care fraud in history, and while that particular honor has since been passed to another, Scott's honor remains unrestored.
