Rick Scott, a former health-care industry executive, is a Republican candidate running for Florida's Governorship.
In 1997 he was ousted by his bosses at Columbia Hospital Corporations in the middle of the "nation's biggest health care fraud scandal"---but didn't leave before recieving a hefty severance package.
His campaign has already spent more than 5 million dollars on television and radio ads---basically he is a "man of the people".
