Senator Dr. Scott Jensen: Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $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.
Hard to believe this doesn't factor into the diagnosed case numbers.
this is disturbing:
He also said Docs were being coached to admit as COVID-19 patients WITHOUT testing. $$$
and the chance of leaving the hospital alive drops to less than 20% once they put you on one of those things, it helps the models look better.
O2 or a CPAP will cause less lung damage.
