Neil Bush was not the only Bush brother involved in the Savings and Loan
collapses. Jeb Bush’s, the current Governor of Florida, curious
relationship with Miguel Recarey is another illustration. Recarey was a
long-time business associate of Tampa organized crime figure Santos
Trafficante. Recarey also fled the U.S. facing three separate
indictments for labor racketeering, illegal wiretapping and Medicare
fraud (Freedburg, 1988: A1). Recarey’s business, International Medical
Centers, was the largest health maintenance organization for the elderly
in the U.S. and had been supported from $1 billion in payments from the
Medicare program. International Medical Centers went bankrupt in 1988
(Freedburg, 1988: A1; Royce and Shaw, 1988: 4). When International
Medical Centers went under it left $222 million in unpaid bills and was
under investigation for $100 million in Medicare fraud (Freedbrug, 1988:
A1; Frisby, 1992: G1). The U.S. Office of Labor Racketeering in Miami
referred to Recarey and his company as “the classic case of embezzlement
of government funds ... “a bust-out operation” (Freedburg, 1988: A1)
