Republican Govenor Rick Scott Sued over Discrimination

Not that Obama is any better to the disabled but Rick Scott is being sued by Disability Rights Advocates and 5 families who have been on the mediwaiver list for more than 5 years. Sadly there are over 19,000 families on the list in the state of Florida alone.

It saddens me to read this article since the majority of the comments want disabled children institutionalized. It has been against the law since the 1970(s) to segregate and isolate such individuals and yet with a black president in office he can not summon the strength to order Florida's Governor Rick Scott to provide funding for the weakest individuals in our society. There is a paradigm shift in this thought process. Does Barack not know he and Rick Scott will become weak and need assistance in their lives? I think Barack Obama is completely dependent on Secret Service to provide everything including driving him from pillar to post. Are we gong to get rid of all the elderly as well in this country? Better watch out Ms. Robinson. Why are we moving to a Nazi regime?

Having a cosntitutional law professor for President hasn't paid off so well for anyone especially those with special needs. Justice doesn't exist. But field is soured for would be presidential hopefully JEB by this suit. I will put a link in to a news source. I have verified it several different ways. You can do your own research on it as well.

We don't have much of a country if we can't ask the hard questions. I have admitted that I am asking the hard questions. What kind of country are we if we abandoned the disabled? There is a possibility to create 19,000 jobs by funding these families. We have no honor if we do that. It is Nazi Germany all over again with institutionalization and then euthanasia. I am not big on the Holocaust. I am certain that is going to cost me readership but think of it as an economic disaster in Germany and then understanding the organizational structure of Germany's horrific over efficiency. I should point out I have relatives in Germany that were interred in Special Camps during WWII for sticking up for the Jews/German people.

If we are free and enlightened in this country why can't we care for our own before paying interest payments to China during war. The President has it in his authority to suspend payments to the Chinese. War Time powers should be used for good once and a while before we move to a parlimentary system in this country.

I don't want to hear arguments about the disabled not being able to fight. Retarded people were sent to die in Iraq. Military takes all kinds including the disabled so why aren't they funded?

I will entertain alot as far as comments go but when you are sending disable people in combat and then to death row we have to ask ourselves why they are not fundIng them before we take their lives? No one picks on veterans or would be veterans on my hub.

Since I have written this hub Rick Scott has taken on the slogan families first but gas but every single social program he could for children and families. This is perhaps the most anti-social Governor we have ever had and that us saying a lot since we had JEB.

There were 23,000 children on the Medwaiver list and to avoid litigation again where he would have to take the fifth amendment he appropriated monies to clear the Mediwaiver list. Hurray right? All those families who have been struggling for so long are finally going to get the services they have been waiting for over a decade, right? Well actually no! Rick Scott significantly reduced the amount of services a child on the Medwaiver list could receive. The is right!!!

I have been told by an inside source that Rick Scott is intentionally withholding the letters denying services to these families until after the election. This is VOTER FRAUD and is a violation of THE 1964 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT! Eric Holder and the FBI as well as DHS should have Scott in jail.

Further not only has he manipulated 23,000 families who are sitting around with their hands out in hopes of receiving something but he did it by cutting food stamps and placing all these children in to MMA Medicaid programs. Now if I were Rick Scott I would stay away from Medicaid entirely. Hasn't he already been in trouble for Medicaid Fraud before???

It is great he has hired more DCF investigators to check disabled children parent's refrigerators but when there is no food because of cuts to social programs Rick Scott has made then how is that the parents fault. Not every parent can find full time employment. The employment numbers in this state have such a wide variation because Scott only hires people temporarily.

Where is the Department of Justice???? Rick Scott has hired temporarily people to move the disabled off the Medwaiver list to the Medwaiver but the families have not received letters stating they will receive services. The whole point if the Medwaiver was so the children who had developmental disabilities and their parents could get services??? He stole from all the social programs in Florida just to pull this trick. The election is close and he stands to gain 56,000 votes by defrauding the parents of disabled children in Florida. Wow, this guy is a jerk!

It is completely illegal and very transparent that Rick Scott has serious issues with individuals with disabilities. I have met him with my son and a friend of mine. She happened to be African American. Rick Scott announced his daughter was a special educator and his wife's name was the same as my friends, "Francita". Rick Scott is a liar! his wife's name is Ann. I have no idea what his daughter does but the amount of politically incorrect things that spewed from his vile mouth when I met him left me less than impressed. My son, Alex who desperately needs Medwaiver services and has been moved off the wait list and on the Medwaiver to no services, hated him. Children with Sutism have no social filter and they will let you know exactly what they think of you. It was evident to my son exactly who Rick Scott was/is as a person of exceptionally low moral character.

Any politician who wants a picture with my son who has autism and medical complexities better be prepared to roll up his sleeves and help my child. Rick Scott runs around with an entourage of secret service like he is someone anyone would know. One of his secret service detail dropped could pay to provide several child with Medwaiver services. Rick Scott hates poor people. He thinks he is above it all which is amazing because my family has been in Republican Politics for the past 100 years and no one has heard of him.

All is I can see Rick Scott doing in Florida is ripping off every single social program for the disabled including now Medicaid (Where is the Department of Justice?) and doing God knows what with the money?

"Putting Florida Families First" except the families of the disabled is again a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act Governor Scott! Defrauding Florida voters is also a felony Governor Scott and that is exactly what you are doing playing this game with Medwaiver services while stealing from every social program which serves as a safety net in Florida. Stealing from Medicaid and forcing the disabled into federally funded clinics and then paying those federally funded clinics monies from the state so they are more solvent is not exactly improving services when those clinics barely have doctors. The doctors they do have are right out of medical school and lack the sophistication to deal with more complexed illnesses. You are destroying the healthcare system of Florida Governor Scott I hope you pay for it for the rest of your life. god knows the disabled of Florida will not survive and it will take atleast a decade for the state of Florida to even begin to rebuild the healthcare system so you could build ports and hang out in South Anerica?

This is how it goes in Florida. Rick Scott and his family first. Then Florida's Healthy Families First but if you are unhealthy or have an unhealthy family member there is no safety net no matter how much money you have paid in taxes in the past.
