I feel sorry for half the people in the country

NEW YORK CITY AT 51%.

MASSIVE $$$CAM

ensen, April 8: I would remind him that anytime health care intersects with dollars it gets awkward. Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital, you’ll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do.

In an interview with FactCheck.org, however, Jensen said he did not think that hospitals were intentionally mis-classifying cases for financial reasons.

---- HOW DARE I EVEN SUGGEST SUCH A THING!!! (check my posts)

“So, hospitals get an extra $13,000 if they diagnose a death as COVID-19,” a widely shared meme on Facebook claimed. “And an additional $39,000 if they use a ventilator!” One post of the meme, shared by hundreds, was captioned: “And then we wonder why the numbers of deaths are embellished…”


HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?
