Rick Scott Facts & More..

Prior to his career in politics, Scott served in the US Navy in 1970.

After serving in the Navy he became a law firm partner and co-founded Columbia Hospital Corporation.

Columbia later merged with another corporation to form Columbia/HCA, which eventually became the nation’s largest private for-profit health care company.

He was pressured to resign as chief executive of Columbia/HCA in 1997, after it was discovered that the company defrauded Medicare, Medicad and other federal programs during his tenure.
