Thank you for standing up for what is right, for those who can't do it themselves.

The voicemail messages left on Gov. Rick Scott’s personal cellphone by a Hollywood nursing home where at least 11 people have died were deleted, according to the governor’s office.

In the week leading up to Irma, Gov. Scott held a series of conference calls with emergency managers as well as hospital and nursing home officials. During those conference calls he gave out his cellphone number and said if any of the healthcare centers experienced trouble they should call him at that number and he would work to resolve their problem.

There were a total of four voicemails left during the 36 hours before the first patient died, and they would have been a critical piece of evidence in the ongoing investigation into the patient deaths. The governor’s office said the voicemails were deleted in accordance with the state’s public records law.

On September 10, administrators contacted Florida Power with an emergency request to restore power. According to nursing home officials, FPL said they would have crews dispatched the next morning. The nursing home also spoke to the emergency operations center in Tallahassee, which notified the 152-bed facility that their order would be “escalated.”

By the evening of September 11, Natasha Anderson, a vice president with The Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills, says she called the governor’s cellphone to say the nursing home needed “immediate assistance” in restoring the power to their air conditioning system. Anderson dialed the cellphone number provided by Scott. It went straight to voicemail.

Anderson made three additional calls to Scott’s cellphone on September 12.

By September 13, patients at the nursing suffered myriad health issues and at least five of the patients had died. State officials say temperatures inside the nursing home were high, and that some of the dead registered body temperatures as high as 109 degrees. The nursing home was then evacuated. At least a half dozen more patients would die in the days that followed.

Scott said at no time did anyone from the nursing home suggest there was a crisis or that patients were in danger. The Governor has cut off Medicaid and Medicare funding for the nursing home, and suspended its license.

He founded the company before taking office, and transferred ownership to his wife, and then it was mysteriously granted a no-bid contract.

Also he was CEO of the health company who got hit with the largest medicare fraud fine in history for performing heart stents on patients who didn't need them, and I'm assuming other fraudulent poo poo. It's amazing that a state full of old people who are reliant on Medicare votes for him. Naked corruption is basically the modern GOP to a tee, and now naked racism.

The article reads and ascribes some stuff that isn't really there, but the blog itself is some pretty weak skills/dignity/hard work fluff.

I mean calling the guy racist for that post is a bad look too and I understand why he would view that as air quotes starting poo poo even if that is an even worse look

Harping on a dude because he used an innocent phrase and that somehow became him being racist and he got mad about it is dumb as poo poo

I said he was defending racists because he was. I called him racist because of his actions after that. Instead of having a discussion, he came back and acted like a shithead. I have had multiple productive conversations with posters who do not always agree with me, and I think others here can attest to that. I am no stranger to differing views or conflicts. I apologize when I realized i have made a mistake or misjudged a person or their actions.

Judging by his actions, I did not misjudge him.

When the 'Democrats are a waste' thread was active, it was always funny to see the thread erupt into screaming when someone said something about healthcare but it got really quiet when thread posters started talking about 'virtue signaling' and how 'Trump was better than Hillary/Obama was worse than Reagan'.
It wasn't all the posters, not in the slightest. But a large chunk of them had rather problematic opinions.
