Prominent investor and conservative activist Richard Scott will begin a “rotation of advertisements against the broad outlines of President Obama’s health care plans,” the New York Times reports today. Scott is currently the head of Conservatives for Patients’ Rights (CPR), a group that is leading a $20 million health care misinformation campaign in an attempt to sway public opinion against Obama’s health care reform proposals. CPR  is also working with the public relations firm responsible for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign. Scott has a notorious history within the health care industry. He helped to build “Columbia/HCA into the largest health care company in the world” but was dismissed by the company’s board of directors in 1997, after perpetrating the nation’s largest health care fraud in history. The scandal resulted in a $1.7 billion settlement to pay for a number charges that included “overbilling of state and federal health programs.” Indeed, Scott probably “hopes people don’t Google his name,” John E. Hartwig, the former deputy inspector general at the Department of Health and Human Services, said. “I just don’t understand why he would be a messenger people would listen to,” said Charles Kahn, a senior executive that ran the infamous “Harry & Louise” advertisements fifteen years ago but is now pushing for health care reform.
