Alex Sink: Wrong For Seniors
Alex Sink Wants You To Think She’ll Work For Seniors, But…
As Chief Financial Officer, Alex Sink Served On A Board Responsible For The Oversight Of Florida’s Pension Fund While It Lost $27 Billion In Value. (State Board of Administration Investment Reports, 2006-2007 & 2009-2010)
While Serving On This Board, Sink And Her Board Members Were Also Criticized In An Audit For “Significant Management Deficiencies” And A Lack Of Oversight When It Came To Risky Investments In The Local Government Investment Pool. (Palm Beach Post, 4/25/08)
Alex Sink Now Claims: “When I Was Serving You As Your Elected Chief Financial Officer In Tallahassee, Fighting For Protection Of Seniors Against Insurance Scams…” (CL Tampa, 1/27/14)
But While Sink Was CFO She Was Not Concerned With Protecting Florida Seniors And Was Criticized For Licensing Ex-Felons To Sell Insurance After Bashing Other Agency For Similar Moves. (Tampa Bay Times, 10/13/2010)
Alex Sink Also Continues To Support Obamacare Even Though Medicare Is Currently Being Gutted To Pay For This Law. Remember, Obamacare Only Exacerbated The Crisis In Medicare. It Contains Approximately $716 Billion In Cuts To Medicare That Were Used To Pay For An Expansion Of New Federal Health Care Programs. (USA Today, November 25, 2013; The Washington Post, 8/14/12)
Included In Those Massive Cuts, Medicare Advantage, A Medicare Plan Administered By Private Companies That Generally Offer Expanded Benefits For Seniors, Would Be Cut By More Than $100 Billion And Be All But Eliminated In The Process. (Naples Daily News, 12/12/13)
