So 2400 bucks a year? I am impressed the VA caught it.

What a shmuck. Rick Scott, the former governor of Florida, was CEO of a company that had to settle for more than $2 billion of health care fraud. Health care fraud: do a little, ten years in jail; do a ton, become governor of a state.

Governor twice and now he’s a Senator. A fucking Senator.

Always remember. No matter what the law says, in our current philosophical embodiment of what a “justice system” is, you might be guilty or not of a crime, but the only real reason you are being punished is because of poverty.

Glad to see at least one person get universal healthcare.

You silly goose! US Congressmen get the best healthcare. What's wrong, are you not a Congressman? Sucks for you!

They should have known the guy wasn't a real veteran because he actually managed to get healthcare.

Right? I was going to ask what the fuck he did, because no one I know has had any luck doing that.

$63k!? What'd he do? Go to the dentist once?

Infuriating is that he scammed the insurance or that routine medical care costs ~$2500/year, or both?
