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 took it of my own free will.

Understood. But your job was still on the line, due to CMS rules released on November 5th.

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

NJ law is different than where I am. Flu shot is completely optional. And yes--I do work in a hospital. One you've probably heard of.

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

There is no good reason for a vaccine mandate.

If it works, no mandate is needed.
If it doesn't work, why have a mandate?

Those are the only two options. It either works, or it doesn't. Working "most of the time" is not working.

I see your point .

I really don’t know why I took the shot now that I think about.

I had the first in December of last year and then the second in January.
I’ve always wondered why if the shot works why do we need a mask and if the masks work why do we need the shot.

Yeah, but I’ll never pretend I’m a knowitall expert doctor, like you do janitorman.

Isn’t there some vomit for you too lick up somewhere, or are you one of THOSE people who play online on the company time?

Now get over yourself, stop leaning on the mop handle and go clean a floor Mr dontposttome

I've never said I was a doctor. Never from day one.

And I don't ‘’lean on a mop handle’’ and no I don't play online on my employers computer as that's a strict policy, personally it's something I wouldn't do anyway and I don't have the time seeing as how myself and my co workers are pretty busy most of the time.

Thanks for exposing how really juvenile you are, how angry you are and how supremely ignorant you are of not only how its is to work in a hospital ER and how ignorant you are of me. From experience at this job and the others I've had, observing, asking questions, sometimes being given information gratuitously by nurses and technicians themselves sometimes as a matter of course as per my employer and various laws about what to do under certain circumstances , a mother who was an OR nurse and a nursing director, a wife who was a CNA(certified nursing assistant) and is now a heart monitor technician. But you know none of this or me and what I do. Pathetic. Be gone.

Bless your hearts.

Now go pick on someone your own size. How’s that for context?

By your logic, I'm an expert on the covids, hospital billing policy, and the vax cause I watched Grey's Anatomy.

Be serious, please.

Yeah, the point is you’re ignorant of that I do in doing my job in the ER and what I’m responsible for, what I’m shown by experts because I ask so I can learn and gain some knowledge and insight into the human condition , what my employer(s because I’ve worked in two other ERs)) have trained me to do.

I never said I was a doctor and I don’t make diagnosis.

But you’ve never done what I do, have never seen what I’ve seen and see all the time.

That’s my point.
