AI Overview
The "Rick Scott Medicare fraud case" refers to the large-scale Medicare fraud settlement involving his former company, Columbia/HCA Healthcare, which paid a then-record $1.7 billion in fines and settlements in 2001. While Scott was the CEO, *no senior executives were criminally charged. The company pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit Medicare fraud, and the settlement addressed issues such as illegally billing for services and paying kickbacks to doctors.

*Wonder how that happened?????
