I am sure he knew nothing about it. Just like Rick Scott in Florida when he presided over the largest Medicare fraud in history, $1.7Billion. However, he knew nothing about it and sits on his ass in the Senate now. And you wonder why I never vote for Republicans. Liars and Thieves.

Hey, does Kathy Hochul still have that hotline for innocent smol bean health company CEOs to report that someone made them uncomfy while they were illegally jailing people in heinous conditions for max profit??

For-profit health care is disgusting.

Waiting a year for a MRI is disgusting.

Agreed, let’s properly fund a public health care system.

They wanted to do it today.
I had a conflict. Doing it monday am. If needed, Surgery following Tuesday(8 days) Non life threatening. What I have now is pretty good in my book.

Important to note that the reporting also finds Acadia engaged in fraudulent billing. So while Donald/Elon rail about poor people committing fraud, the real fraud is coming from dudes in $3000 Armani suits.

🙏🏻 and sadly, it’s as I imagined.. ‘Acadia was holding patients against their will in order to maximize insurance payouts. Some patients arrived at emergency rooms seeking routine mental health care but were sent to Acadia facilities, where they were locked inside and isolated from their families.’
