Is this a Medicaid/Medicare thing? Does the Fed pay out for other illnesses? I keep hearing about these payouts and can’t understand why da Gubbamint is paying hospitals for Wu Flu.
I keep hearing this, what are the actual numbers on this broken down and how is the compensation actually calculated? There are 5 million cases. So the government has given out $135 billion dollars just this year? Or is it a combination of government, state and private insurance money?

"If you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get paid 13,000$. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get 39,000$."
And if you go on a ventilator you have an 86% chance of ending up dead.
I heard 10k euros in some socialist countries. Source verified by hospital worker who has seen the invoices.
Sauce?
Who is paying this money?
Why do they get money for that?
