Biden’s Bounty on Your Life: Hospitals’ Incentive Payments for COVID-19 Upon admission to a once-trusted hospital, American patients with COVID-19 become virtual prisoners, subjected to a rigid treatment protocol with roots in Ezekiel Emanuel’s “Complete Lives System” for rationing medical care in those over age 50. They have a shockingly high mortality rate. How and why is this happening, and what can be done about it? As exposed in audio recordings, hospital executives in Arizona admitted meeting several times a week to lower standards of care, with coordinated restrictions on visitation rights. Most COVID-19 patients’ families are deliberately kept in the dark about what is really being done to their loved ones. The combination that enables this tragic and avoidable loss of hundreds of thousands of lives includes (1) The CARES Act, which provides hospitals with bonus incentive payments for all things related to COVID-19 (testing, diagnosing, admitting to hospital, use of remdesivir and ventilators, reporting COVID-19 deaths, and vaccinations) and (2) waivers of customary and long-standing patient rights by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)....... Creating a “National Pandemic Emergency” provided justification for such sweeping actions that override individual physician medical decision-making and patients’ rights. The CARES Act provides incentives for hospitals to use treatments dictated solely by the federal government under the auspices of the NIH. These “bounties” must paid back if not “earned” by making the COVID-19 diagnosis and following the COVID-19 protocol. The hospital payments include: A “free” required PCR test in the Emergency Room or upon admission for every patient, with government-paid fee to hospital. Added bonus payment for each positive COVID-19 diagnosis. Another bonus for a COVID-19 admission to the hospital. A 20 percent “boost” bonus payment from Medicare on the entire hospital bill for use of remdesivir instead of medicines such as Ivermectin. Another and larger bonus payment to the hospital if a COVID-19 patient is mechanically ventilated. More money to the hospital if cause of death is listed as COVID-19, even if patient did not die directly of COVID-19. A COVID-19 diagnosis also provides extra payments to coroners. CMS implemented “value-based” payment programs that track data such as how many workers at a healthcare facility receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Now we see why many hospitals implemented COVID-19 vaccine mandates. They are paid more. Outside hospitals, physician MIPS quality metrics link doctors’ income to performance-based pay for treating patients with COVID-19 EUA drugs. Failure to report information to CMS can cost the physician 4% of reimbursement. Because of obfuscation with medical coding and legal jargon, we cannot be certain of the actual amount each hospital receives per COVID-19 patient. But Attorney Thomas Renz and CMS whistleblowers have calculated a total payment of at least $100,000 per patient.
So get freaking vaccinated!! They are free and the side-effects are tolerable!! 99% of the people who end up in the hospital are unvaccinated.
The AAPS is a conservative fringe group which promotes medical misinformation -- it is not any type of mainstream medical society. Tags: COVIDMISINFORMATION
You do realize this "Hospital Incentives" story (misinformation/disinformation) was first started by those in the Trump Administration when Trump was President...then repeated several times by him when he was campaigning for re-election as he continue to downplay the threat of Covid. I guess they didn't like the results of the misinformation and have now tried it again now that Biden administration is distributing the Trump vaccines and approved free antiviral therapeutic drug treatments... Soon to be free home covid test kits. Simply, you should do much better instead of spreading the misinformation further by taking the time to carefully research the stories prior to posting about it. Spreading misinformation / disinformation is just as bad (harmful) as it was when it initially originated. wrbtrader
Rand Paul and others like him are members. You have to understand that a lot of physicians find the AMA to have drifted too far to the left.
Yet this group is associated with "America's Frontline Doctors" and other groups which pimp false cures and misinformation. The AAPS is a political group -- not a medical society -- with a lengthy history of pushing vaccine misinformation and other medical misinformation even before Covid.
I think we all know the craziness of the AAPS but many want to forget they're the group of Doctors that advocated and defended the prescription use of Opioids that led to over 700,000 Americans losing their life (still counting) over bullshit via the facade to protect private medicine. Some of those AAPS doctors sat in court and gave testimony that Opioids were not addictive... I think many parallel that to Doctors many years ago doing the same for Big Tobacco companies about nicotine at those trials that tobacco companies knew how dangerous nicotine was to the human body. Medicine and Politics...not a good combo. wrbtrader
