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.

Calling you a ten year old child is not an ad hominem. Your argument IS that of a ten year old as you offer no evidence of where this alleged incident occurred.
Tonight on my shift I asked several nurses the question that if a person is 18 or older, and in full possession of their faculties can they refuse any medical procedure.

And they all replied ‘’''Yes, you have the right to refuse treatment.'' Again, you make a claim and offer no evidence of this absurd incident. There fore I have won the argument, not you. If you're man enough to provide evidence of the claim you make, then provide it and don't hide behind a cheap accusation of my launching an ad hominem. So put up or shut up. Are you man enough to do that?

“Your argument IS that of a ten year old as you offer no evidence of where this alleged incident occurred.”

The idea that me telling you what hospital and state this happened in will somehow make it more factual to you is foolish. As dumb as you asking for the families phone number so you can call them. Quit making foolish requests.

“and in full possession of their faculties can they refuse any medical procedure.”

Now you are moving goalposts. Re-read the opening post, once a person is on a vent they can’t communicate, and the hospital makes a ton of money. Informed consent is a good theory or goal but it doesn’t always happen. Check this out; https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?IDNUMBER=914961

Like I said you not believing me doesn’t change the fact two people I know were treated exactly like the article, and other stories I posted, say, including the thread from the FR poster terart. You didn’t read her story did you?

“For any hospital or doctor to do what you allege is not only unethical it’s against the law.”

That’s laughable. Covid treatment protocol in hospitals is governed by the administration and law. That’s why it’s been taking court intervention to make a hospital give a patient ivermectin. Ivermectin isn’t in tightly controlled hospital covid protocols, but remdesivir is, (read the op article again) and it unarguably causes more harm than good. Plus the hospital gets direct government payments to give it. And you blab about ethics!! Pop your bubble and float back down to planet earth!

Ask if a patient request for ivermectin would be honored. Ivermectin does more good than remdesivir! Look -> https://c19early.com/

How many covid patients have died there per the protocol outlined in the OP article; given only remdesivir and a vent while collecting the government payment?

I’m not moving any goal post. I asked you a simple question about this hospital where this alleged incident occurred and yo say it doesn’t matter.

You’re saying I’m foolish? As far as I’m concerned you making up a story with nothing to back it up.

My hospital uses anti bodies and ivermectin and hydroxoychloquine. We’re down to about a dozen cases. We’ve gone back to doing elective surgery again and we’re dealing now with more serious things like C-diff(do you know what that is?) and MRSA. My wife, who works for the Meridian Health care System had Covid two months ago and was given antibodies and she has recovered and gone back to work.

I don’t live in a bubble. I live in the real world and work in an ER. Try doing the same yourself.

In your world evil doctors are infecting people for money.

Yeah, ok pal. Nothing is going to convince you.

Both of my friends were flat out refused ivermectin when requested, even worse, they were scoffed at and told ivm “doesn’t work anyway” and “it’s not used in the United States”. Both got remdesivir though!

A few private doctors here do give IVM, I got an exposure/prevention prescription of ivm/zinc when I cared for my folks when they got covid in early October. Their doctor prescribed it for them, and for my sister and me.

I can easily believe your hospital is different than here, after all it was East Virginia Medical School that developed treatment protocols that included IVM. But the two major city hospitals here my friends were in don’t. Most private doctors won’t because our state heath department explicitly told them not to. These facts probably don’t matter to you, it seems nothing is going to convince you.

It doesn’t. It’s not in NJ, and not the hospital you work at. So knowing where it is won’t automatically make you believe me. The incidents are fact, you not believing that is not my problem, it’s yours.

When an article names no hospital and you tell an account that sounds like a second or third hand story ‘told to me by a friend of a friend’’ I call bs on it.

Last year in the ER I work in in the space of six and a half hours I saw four people die. Three were elderly with comorbidity issues and one was a middle aged man who also had other health issues. I've been exposed and survived it. You ever been in a situation like that? Ever been exposed to this filthy thing? And before you go thinking I'm so hero, I;m not. But I've seen people treated with the medicines I listed and our recovery rate has been fantastic. But in your world doctors are mad scientists injecting people with dangerous drugs for money.

“In your world evil doctors are infecting people for money.

I never said or implied all hospital systems were like the two I mentioned, that would treat patients like the OP article describes, and treat people like my friends were treated. I knew some aren’t, EVMS for example, so that is my world.

In contrast it seems you won’t believe there are any hospital systems that are different then the one you work at, even though you said in post 9 “There will always be charlatans in every profession, even the medical field.”.

It’s obviously not me that’s in a bubble.

It’s FIRST HAND. They were my friends. What is so hard to accept about that?

“I’ve been exposed and survived it. You ever been in a situation like that? Ever been exposed to this filthy thing?”

Yes I’ve been directly exposed, I moved in with my parents when they had covid to care for them for two weeks. I was with them at the event where they got it. I’ve sat next to covid positive people who were sneezing and coughing.

Why are you so mad and obnoxious? What’s with your bad attitude?

You replied to post 51 and obviously missed what I said;

“I got an exposure/prevention prescription of ivm/zinc when I cared for my folks when they got covid in early October. Their doctor prescribed it for them, and for my sister and me.”

I am so happy my parents didn’t end up in the hospital. Maybe you should slow down and read and comprehend what others write before responding.

Maybe you ought to do the same. The point I was trying to make was if this hospital you claim treated your parents or whom ever it was you were talking about you might have a legal case. Go to your state hospital board and see if indeed you have a case.

Merry Christmas.

Working in a hospital isn’t ‘’anecdotal’’, I can assure you.

And for your information I’ve worked in two others over the years and in those hospitals no one as ever treated against their will.

I’m mad because after working 8 to 12 hour shifts in the ast year , seeing this Covid thing up close and personal and watching how the doctors and nurse in my hospitals ER have been treating people with great skill and compassion and then reading loads of ‘’fear porn’’ stories well, frankly it pisses me off. I could do with some time off I can tell you. I’m reaching the burn out stage.

I wasn’t trying to obnoxious to you and I apologize for the attitude.

I’m no hero. And as I said I’ve been exposed four times, tested ‘’positive asymptomatic’’ last April and had to stay home for a week.

I seen quite a number of people die almost every night from this filthy thing, last June I saw four people die in the space of six hours. It can get to you.

But I love the job and wouldn’t quit it for the world.

I’m glad for you that your parents are ok. Mine passed away years ago.
