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.

Who is ‘’we’’ asshole? The article itself said ‘’A once trusted hospital’’. No name, no location. The basis of any argument is to provide names, facts, and figures or you’re just talking out you butt.

Bully people? Hardly. There isn’t anyone here powerful enough or important enough in my life that I have to prove anything by ‘’bullying’’ someone.

When this thing first hit all elective surgery in my hospital was put on hold. The physical therapy department was shut down and the people working in that department were reassigned to other duties so as not to lose their jobs.

We had physical therapists cleaning patient rooms, working as patient transporters and working in dietary. Only emergency surgeries were being preformed and no visitors were allowed. "Political optics''? No. It was done because no one was sure what this thing was. There was no Operation Warp Speed yet. Every hospital was in effect running blind. "Code Toad''. Yeah I know who you are. If memory serves me right aren't you one of the ''Lost Causers''? . I've avoided you in the past and and now I know why. So you ''f off''.

Well, Sunshine, then why all the pointed questions if it isn’t so important to you? Seems you’ve got quite the juvenile attitude and cry when called out on it. Just another punk who thinks he’s got all the answers.

“It was done because no one was sure what this thing was.”

So they continued banning elective surgeries after two years?? Your excuse just fell apart.

Then publish you and your wife’s real names and hospital you claim she works at. Put up or shut up, loud mouth.

You think I fall for that? You think I’m dumb enough to do that?

I work in Community Medical Center in Toms River NJ and my wife works for the Meridian Health System in Brick NJ.

Because Poindexter I see how people are treated every day in a hospital ER and every doctor or nurse I’ve asked has told me any one over the age of 18 and in sound mind and body can refuse treatment and ask to be discharged.

Four posts to me from your dumb ass. Man, I’ve really gotten into your head.

Don’t ever post anything to me again.

I’ve never bothered with you before so keep it that way.

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.


LOL! You BROKE him!

Yeah, yeah.....you’ve posted that you “work in a hospital ER day in and day out” ... and, have finally admitted you work as a janitor.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that....but....what are the odds that you’ve seen the actual accounting receivables (or, payables, for that matter) of your, or ANY hospital?

You wouldn’t have a clue, just by ‘looking’ as to what incentives the hospital that you’re in charge of housekeeping for, is receiving from BigPharma, USG, or anyone else.

Also, just curious, how many FReepers/week do you average telling them to ‘don’t post to me, again!’?

You are the one who seems triggered, here....with all of the name calling, btw.

I don't see account receivables , it's not my perview. So what? And so what wrong with being a janitor? Nothing wrong with work if it's honest, right? If the hospital ER isn't clean and sanitized there's a problem. People look down on plumbers, don't they? But think of what life would be like without them. I'm proud of what I do. The people I tell not to post to me piss me off.

Name calling? Please I've been called every name in the book, most of it from those “Lost Cause’’ losers on the Civil War threads.

Not sure what your occupation is, but I spent 40 years in health care administration. The cleaning staff is just as professional as the clinicians; JCAHO,CMS and local (state) regs not only require it, they demand it.

We had an axiom that if you really wanted to know what was going on in your hospital, you should check with the cleaning team.

And even though they don’t make clinical decisions, they are frequently involved in them. Particularly the Supervisors.

Unsung heroes, in my book.

Bravo pollyshy. That would be me. Thank you so much for your kind words. The work I do for my employer, the RWJ Barnabas Heath Care System is the best hospital of the others I’ve worked in.

Sincerely jmacusa.
