Contradiction

Intro states that Mr. Scott was born in Illinois; bio section that he was born in Kansas City, Missouri. Does anyone have a reference to show which is correct? Vgranucci 04:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It states he was born in IL and raised in Kansas City...seems to be ok to me 72.17.254.242 22:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia / HCA

There is an awful lot of Columbia/HCA stuff on here that appears to have occurred long after Rick Scott left Columbia/HCA. Reasonable folks can debate all day about how much of that chapter of Columbia/HCA's history should be included in Rick Scott's bio. The fact is, the man was never implicated in anything that the company ultimately agreed to pay fines for - and I'm quite certain he didn't have a say in settling those fines. Had he been at the helm years later, Scott may have chosen to fight the government in court. The point is, we don't know what might have happened because Rick Scott wasn't with the company. Thus, I submit to the Wikipedia community that much of the Columbia/HCA history that is included in Rick Scott's bio should actually be contained in a separate article.

In this way, readers can judge for themselves what the facts were, rather than having a handful of agenda-driven Wikipedia contributors trying to tarnish Rick Scott's reputation when all anyone can say for certain is that he presided over the company at a time when some folks far below him on the organizational chart made some poor decisions that ultimately cost the company billions.
