Biden’s Bounty on Your Life: Hospitals’ Incentive Payments for COVID-19

Discussion in 'Politics' started by ipatent, Dec 4, 2021.

  1. Please see any history book for an education on the trust worthyness of government. If opposing views were so unbelievably they wouldn't trigger the big gov loving people. The gov has incentivized the diagnosis of covid 19 is the gist right....so how is that misinformation .. the gov runs healthcare by in large .. they have the Monopoly on who gets awarded money based on their world view....I did not vote for trump or Biden... Biting into the same apple. More deaths this year under Biden then when Trump was in office and more people are vaxxef now...whats with that

    Yeah the hospital just really has nothing better to do besides diagnosing people with Covid-19 and making them stay in the hospital for them to spend all those efforts in trying to save them. Doctors and nurses themselves are dying for saving people's lives from this covid s*** and this is what these conspiracy theorists come up with?? Seriously??
    Ivermectin is a horse medication. Are hospitals becoming veterinary hospitals?? You can get seriously injured and possibly die from Ivermectin and plenty of people have done so. You know that?
    As opposed to what? Somebody doing mouth-to-mouth CPR on you?? LOL

    You really have to admire the intelligence and compassion level of those people who came up with these conspiracy theories. Some are beyond stupid; they are just downright heartless. If people really believe in this, the next time when they get sick with covid-19 after being tested not in a hospital but in a neighbourhood testing centre so the hospitals won't get a bonus payment, they should stay home and not go to a hospital so that way hospitals won't get those bonus payments. There.

    You never know. This might Trump's way of lowering healthcare costs by driving people away from the hospitals and at the same time weeding out of the idiots to improve the quality of the gene pool. Trump's a smart guy. :thumbsup:

    Why would you want to pay a hospital any treatment bounty if the patient already has health insurance?

    AAPS is credible enough so that the payments are probably not fake. Edit: See this article on ACA hospital payments.

    Like I said, if you believe this conspiracy theory shit, you are welcome to stay at home and not visit hospitals when you have covid. Since hospitals only receive these "treatment bounty" when they actually diagnose and treat covid cases, then not going to the hospital won't allow the hospitals to get these "bonus payments". There you go.

    You said the payments aren't real. Maybe you had a problem with the word "bounty." It doesn't change my question as to why they would pay hospitals extra for procedures like intubations that are already covered by insurance.

    Paying for initial testing of all patients upon admission is defensible, but the rest of the payments would seem to create malincentives.
