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.

Happened to my buddy’s wife, EXACTLY as described.
Holy cross hospital
Fort Lauderdale
Remdesivor, kidneys shut down, then IV fluids, then when her lungs filled up, a vent, then morphine to help her die “painlessly”
Passed on 09.03.21
It only took them 10 days to murder her.

There, you happy now?
What are you, a janitor?
Because you’re either NOT in medical care, or are a veterinarian assistant, a janitor, a shill, obtuse, uninformed, unread, or worse yet, the truth is not in you.

A doctor murdered you buddy's wife? Really? And no one explained there could be risks? Murdered? What an asinine thing to say. No one refused the treatment. It was forced on this woman?

Am I happy? You a$$hole. How dare you.

Yeah, I'm a janitor. And a hospital housekeeping supervisor in charge of keeping a large ER clean and sanitized and PROUD OF WHAT I DO!. So what? You think I'm beneath you?

Who the hell are YOU to take my inventory, the Lord God Almighty? There is no truth in you, only hate. I'm nobody's ‘’shill’’. I am informed, I have to be and I've been exposed to this filthy thing and I'm still on two feet by the competent care I received in my hospital.

Go to hell and don't you EVER post anything to me again.

Georgia has what is called a 10-13 admission which is based on Georgia Statute that pretty much lets the hospital decide if you should be in control of your own rights. I know this because I was put under it when I had a near death lack of sodium and they decided my rights meant nothing. They kept me against my will, forced sedatives on me, did all kinds of things to me against my will. Don’t tell me they can’t be forcibly anything.

The 10-13 form in Georgia refers to

“Imminent danger to self/others by overt acts or expressed threats of violence or self harm’’.

“Unable to care for physical health and safety so as to create an imminently life threatening crisis'' This is from Ridge View Institute, Smyrna, Georgia, Quoting: "If the patient is evaluated to be safe the patient can sign a voluntary status. "The patient can request discharge at any time once voluntary and would then have to be evaluated by a physician for the safety of the discharge''. Now, is this what happened to you?

And I’m saying they intentionally misapplied that statute because I did not want to be treated there - that was my only expression of anything. I remember everything, threatened no one (nor myself). They decided and that was that.

No ‘doctor’ evaluated me as a 10-13. That was the EMTs (I heard them call it in) and from then on it was rote “take your rights away.” Their critical lack of sodium diagnosis was BS. All I needed was a quick increase in sodium levels that could have been done without all the Gestapo stuff....

And that foreign Muslim doktor in charge of me wouldn’t let me go until my levels hit his mark of acceptability. What I should have been doing instead of trying to assert my rights is to call the lawyers my daughter work for.

Then I would say you could have a possible case of medical malpractice.

However all the nurse and doctors I work with in my hospitals ER have told me any person over the age of 18 and of sound mind and body can refuse treatment and sign themselves out.

Believe me if you're not in any imminent life threatening situation or are a threat to yourself or anyone else they'd be happy to discharge you and move on to the next patient. In every hospital ER and in every room of every hospital is a large sign called a "Patients Bill Of Rights''. Not to pry or cast aspersions at you but what was the name of this hospital and why didn't you want to go there?

Imminent, life threatening situation is a subjective term, ESPECIALLY when not even a blood test had been done. I didn’t want to go with the EMTs and they forced me as I passively resisted. IOW, they did all the man-handling and grabbing.

County government EMTs, frigging rural county Piedmont Hospital that spent all its money on ways to bill everything more efficiently. Once there they saw I had Medicare and a top-of-the-line Plan F supplemental Part B policy from BCBS and they milked it for all it was worth. I made them print me out a bill immediately after release and it was over 200 pages - double sided. Did everything under the sun that a simple blood test could have determined.

I called it!
A janitor!

So that poster doesn’t see, diagnose, treat, or cure patients.

...and he then tells everyone that in his vast medical experience he hasn’t seen problems with remdesivir.

Ummm...I’ll go way out on a limb here...
“Maybe you haven’t seen it because...oh...I dunno...BECAUSE YOU’RE JUST THE JANITOR!”

...these leftist shills!
I just threw my back out rolling my eyes.
Maybe “Dr. Janitor” can write be an Rx for the pain...

“Doctors at this point know they are murdering their patients for dollars.”

Sadly, and criminally, doctors claim they do what is best for their patients and that hospital admin do not call the shots when we have all the evidence we need to know that is not true. Protocols are what doctors follow including hospital mandated protocols.

“Frankly I think you’re full of it.”

We know you are. Why do want to know where? They could lie to you and how would you know? Why the challenge when you have zero chance of verifying the information? Seems you just want to bully people, so F’ off.

” We’ve gone back to doing elective surgery again”

That statement, alone, is proof your hospital is playing the COVID political game. There is NO REASON for any hospital to have stopped doing surgeries of any kind due to covid. None. No surgical ward, no doctors, no nurses, no hospital resources were, no beds (especially for outpatient procedures), were needed. None. It was all for political optics. That’s it.
