Biden’s Bounty on Your Life: Hospitals’ Incentive Payments for COVID-19
aapsonline.org ^ | Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D. and Ali Shultz, J.D.

Posted on 11/19/2021 9:07:25 AM PST by ransomnote

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).

In 2020, the Texas Hospital Association submitted requests for waivers to  CMS. According to Texas attorney Jerri Ward, “CMS has granted ‘waivers’ of federal law regarding patient rights. Specifically, CMS purports to allow hospitals to violate the rights of patients or their surrogates with regard to medical record access, to have patient visitation, and to be free from seclusion.” She notes that “rights do not come from the hospital or CMS and cannot be waived, as that is the antithesis of a ‘right.’ The purported waivers are meant to isolate and gain total control over the patient and to deny patient and patient’s decision-maker the ability to exercise informed consent.”

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:

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.

What does this mean for your health and safety as a patient in the hospital?

There are deaths from the government-directed COVID treatments. For remdesivir, studies show that 71–75 percent of patients suffer an adverse effect, and the drug often had to be stopped after five to ten days because of these effects, such as kidney and liver damage, and death. Remdesivir trials during the 2018 West African Ebola outbreak had to be discontinued because death rate exceeded 50%. Yet, in 2020, Anthony Fauci directed that remdesivir was to be the drug hospitals use to treat COVID-19, even when the COVID clinical trials of remdesivir showed similar adverse effects.

In ventilated patients, the death toll is staggering. A National Library of Medicine January 2021 report of 69 studies involving more than 57,000 patients concluded that fatality rates were 45 percent in COVID-19 patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, increasing to 84 percent in older patients. Renz announced at a Truth for Health Foundation Press Conference that CMS data showed that in Texas hospitals, 84.9% percent of all patients died after more than 96 hours on a ventilator.

Then there are deaths from restrictions on effective treatments for hospitalized patients. Renz and a team of data analysts have estimated that more than 800,000 deaths in America’s hospitals, in COVID-19 and other patients, have been caused by approaches restricting fluids, nutrition, antibiotics, effective antivirals, anti-inflammatories, and therapeutic doses of anti-coagulants.

We now see government-dictated medical care at its worst in our history since the federal government mandated these ineffective and dangerous treatments for COVID-19, and then created financial incentives for hospitals and doctors to use only those “approved” (and paid for) approaches.

Our formerly trusted medical community of hospitals and hospital-employed medical staff have effectively become “bounty hunters” for your life. Patients need to now take unprecedented steps to avoid going into the hospital for COVID-19.

Patients need to take active steps to plan before getting sick to use early home-based treatment of COVID-19 that can help you save your life.

I coded a 93 old..person awhile ago.

It is only my thinking...but no 93 yr old should want to be coded.

I am NOT saying they do not have the right to having full CPR done on them..

Been doing this for many years....and we crush their sternum's and break ribs......and less than a percent survive the CPR...and most die later.

I could tell you stories..........

About 10 years ago my next-door neighbor’s 95 year old mother was in a car accident. Her other son, my neighbor’s younger brother was driving her to a doctor’s appointment, he was driving drunk, caused the accident.

She had to be cut out of the car, was resuscitated at the scene, taken to the hospital where she coded again. After that the doctors asked my neighbor about a DNR order and he refused. She was very frail and the CPR did just what you described, crushed her sternum and broke ribs. She also had internal bleeding and somehow survived the surgery that was only able to stop some of it and ended up on life support.

Her son still refused a DNR and insisted she remain on life support even though it was futile. He told me he wouldn’t let them “kill her”. I think he felt guilty for letting his alcoholic brother drive her to the doctor’s that morning.

After a month on life support her heart stopped again and they were not able to resuscitate her. I imagine she suffered a lot that last month.

Jane if it's of any interest to you at at all I have made it clear where I work , Community Medical Center in Toms Rivers , NJ.

I've recounted numerous stories of seeing the results of what had been someone happy and fine and then a bloody mess and crisis . I've said just as numerous times I worked in the same cpacity in two other health care systems now known as Hackensack Meridian Health. I'm responsible for taking care of any thing the nursing staff needs. I've recounted stories here in working and and ER ''janitor'' in your rather sneering stone of seeing so much of the pain, the illness, the sudden life shattering head on and battered and bloody people . Or cleaning a decontamination room after a patient, a homeless guy, in no too obvious pain, in fact picking his nose. Meanwhile the nurses are pulling out handfuls of maggot's from open lesions on the guys legs. Put on a hazemat suit and decontaminate and 12x12 ft. chamber of maggots. Or seeing an interacting with scared little kids or happy little things so innocent and beautiful. Or having the honor of meeting and talking to a WW2 veteran or Korean or Vietnam vet and the bravery and the sacrifice they gave for us. I've recounted the kind of stories before. And I recalling relating of having to clean away what was left of a poor woman, a mother whose head had been so bashed in there was brain matter in her nostrils and mouth and the person who did it to her was her own son. And then , just tonight seeing the most precious, new born sweet angel of a little girl was so awesome. Praise God for His Devine gift of life for us. Who could not see the beauty of his Holy Hand ?But to you I'm a janitor''Thank you, I mean sincerely. You're right I have been ... terse . Other pressures I'm under.Of course nothing to do with you. I apologize for my boorish behavior . What do you think I my Shirley Temple impression ? Pretty good, huh? Well again thank you Jane I do need to get right with HIM. I still like to think I walk on water but I get my feet wet too. Well, for what it worth to you.

Good morning.
My comments should be taken in context.

The context isn’t someone’s position, rather it is that one should speak from ones knowledge base.

For an example; a bus driver for NASA is a perfectly fine job, however this position is not a knowledge expert on the engineering of rocket science.

Well well wasn’t that fun for you?

I remember when my intellect was that weak.
Then I turned thirteen.

Read post 39, and post 50. The hospital he works at uses ivm and hcq so it’s different than the ones my friends went to.

We went around too, but we made peace. IVM and HCQ are used in the hospital he works as so it’s obviously different than others where they are practically banned. I know IVM and HCQ were in the East Virginia Medical School system protocol and their protocol got incorporated into the FLCCC covid protocols. So there are hospital systems that have avoided getting brainwashed by the anti preventative dogma that many got infected with.

This thread needs a group hug.

I didn’t sneer anything. I even said, not that there’s anything wrong with that (line of work). I have a family member who’s held a similar position. Although, I don’t recall them ever mentioning situations/treatment/diagnosis of any of their hospital’s patients, now that I think about it.

My point was that you had no clue as to what incentives your (or, any) hospital may, or may not, be receiving for treating china virus positive patients.

Yes....the pressures of an ER are tremendous and do take their toll, even on those who are not directly involved with diagnosis and treatment.

Only ONE has walked on water. I’m glad to see your focus will be on Him.

Take care.

No one is being tied down and forced to take a vaccine.

Maybe not "tied down" but their jobs were at stake.

Yours, too. This time last week, I was preparing for not having a job today. However, the Fed Judge in LA saved my job.

There are other ways of "forcing" people.

I wasn’t forced to take a shot.
I took it of my own free will.

As per the law I have to have a flu shot.

I don’t agree at all with vaccine mandates, even for health care workers .

Although in theory I can see the sense in and some of the people I work with agree with that view, others don’t.

I was talking about patients being ‘’forced’’ to get the vaccine and that simply isn’t the case.

As I stated here because I asked the nurses I work with that if you’re 18 and older and in sound mind and body you have the right to refuse medical treatment.

Thank you Jane but again, understand there are unscrupulous people in every profession but the idea that hospitals are money hungry, conniving snakes killing pits wantonly killing grandma with Covid isn’t true. Are there less than honest hospital administrators , yes but thankfully they’re they exception, not the rule. And yes finances aren’t my department

What is true that a lot of hospitals really could use more fund, better spent on other things. My hospital is asking us to donate, if we can, to helping support our expanding facilities program, which got side lined by Covid.

I can tell you. quite a number of these nurses hate Fauci.

Anyway thanks for your post. :-)

Guess you never worked in construction, have you? I did, before I got out of it.

Used to hear the expression “Nothing dumber than a plumber all the time’’.

Besides being a smart aleck you aren’t a plumber are you?

Seriously though doesn’t show much much emotional maturity to mock what some one does for a living, does it?

I don’t think it has to do only with generating revenue for healthcare facilities. I have a feeling they are being threatened with losing their credentials, licenses, etc. It’s a horrible place we’re in now.
