GREAT post Nenah! Isn't this scam the most sickening screwing of the people
you ever seen in your life? They will never ever give our lives back more rules
to come more lock-downs to come. I wonder how many suicides have taken place
because of this hoax? I bet you anything the cause of death on the death
certificate will be listed as Covid-19!!!!

Hospitals get paid more if patients listed as COVID-19, on ventilators
April 24, 2020, USA Today
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/04/24/fact-check-medicare-hospitals...
Sen. Scott Jensen, R-Minn., a physician in Minnesota, was interviewed by "The
Ingraham Angle" host Laura Ingraham on April 8 on Fox News and claimed
hospitals get paid more if Medicare patients are listed as having COVID-19 and
get three times as much money if they need a ventilator. On April 19, he
doubled down on his assertion via video on his Facebook page. Jensen said,
"Hospital administrators might well want to see COVID-19 attached to a
discharge summary or a death certificate. Why? Because if it's a
straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the
hospital for – if they're Medicare – typically, the diagnosis-related group
lump sum payment would be $5,000. But if it's COVID-19 pneumonia, then it's
$13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it
goes up to $39,000." He noted that some states ... specifically New York, list
all presumed cases, which is allowed under guidelines from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention as of mid-April and which will result in a
larger payout. The coronavirus relief legislation created a 20% premium, or
add-on, for COVID-19 Medicare patients. We rate the claim that hospitals get
paid more if patients are listed as COVID-19 and on ventilators as TRUE.
Hospitals and doctors do get paid ... three times more if the patients are
placed on a ventilator to cover the cost of care and loss of business resulting
from a shift in focus to treat COVID-19 cases.
