Rick Scott Subsidizing Class Warfare
September 6, 2011 By Silence Dogood Remember when Florida Governor Rick Scott instituted mandatory drug testing on welfare recipients? It was based upon the premise that it would save money by not having to pay benefits to those who were on drugs. Well, it turned out that 96% of welfare recipients are drug free. Technically, 96% tested drug free, 2% failed the test, and another 2% refused to take the drug test. The tests cost on average $30. Those who pass the drug test will be reimbursed for their costs. But those reimbursements are greater than the savings of the denial of benefits to the 2% who failed the test and the 2% who refused to take the test. This doesn’t even begin to account for the additional expense of the as-yet uncalculated costs of staff hours and other resources the DCF has had to spend on implementing the program, as reported by TBO. Ed Brayton points out that “Rick Scott happens to own a chain of health care clinics that get much of their revenue from drug testing.” Here is a prime example of Republican “fiscal responsibility”. This action costs more than it saves, while falsely demonizing welfare recipients as being “lazy drug addicts”, and adding a windfall of revenues to the vested financial interests of the person proposing such demands. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/09/06/rick-scott-subsidizing-class-warfare/ I told anyone who would listen that this was a waste of tax dollars for many years now. Stupid people always so worried about what others, who they can have no idea of, are doing. |

It just gets me that people even think like this and then let others take advantage of their unhealthy mindset to influence a state that then takes advantage of us all.

It will need some tweeking because its brand new, only an idiot would think it would work right off the bat. |

 God not another excuse to blame Republicans! If you made people here do a DT 90% of them WOULD be on illicit drugs of some kind. Welcome to the difference in states! California is a messed up pit. I know. I live here. There will always be sdome idiot shooting their mouth off but also there will always be statistic bending. |

Probably a big part of the reason that Republi Governor Rick Scott is one of the most despised Governors in America.

Stupid people always so worried about what others, who they can have no idea of, are doing. I've always felt that most politicians own huge shares in drug companies, radiation companies, medical corporations, etc., and in fact many are "known" for that. So are TV doctors. Likely the majority are offered the shares even at half price, which could well be why there's so much interest in testing, drugging, & radiating people to death. Overall, not much money can be made by actually "treating" them. |
