According to Greg Sargent, Scott's organization is planning a new series of ads and other activities designed to defeat the measure (and healthcare reform in general).
Here's part of what Sargent reported:
In a clear sign that conservatives are worried that the public option could still survive, an internal memo from a top anti-health care reform group claims that “rumors of its death” have been “greatly exaggerated,” discusses plans to run new ads targeting it, and vows to redouble efforts to foment opposition to it at town hall meetings.
The Sargent piece continued:
The internal memo, which I (Sargent)obtained from a source, was created by staffers at Conservatives for Patients Rights, the well-funded group run by controversial former hospital exec Rick Scott, who reform proponents see as public enemy number one.
The memo discusses a “Martha’s Vineyard ad strategy” that’s set to kick in next week. According to a source familiar with the group’s plans, this is a reference to a planned national ad targeting the public option that will reference the President’s vacation.

Another thing. Whenever you read or hear of any story about Rick Scott and his orgainzaition, look no forward to his checkered past in the healthcare industry
To hear more about who Rick Scott is and what he represents, check out this video:
...and this video in which Scott is unable (or unwilling) to give straight answers about his checkered past in the health insurance industry:
You would think the anti-healthcare reform advocates would find a better advocate for its cause than Rick Scott, especially after one hears about his past and how he answers questions about it.
