If you had a financial incentive to do something that wasn't exactly honest, would you abandon your principles and take the cash? Apparently, that's what many medical providers and hospitals in America have been doing, especially since the beginning of the Biden administration. The numbers are staggering — both in money hospitals took in and the very real possibility that their actions caused people to die. If the accusations are true, what happened is truly evil and, I think, points directly to a cause: the removal of God and morality from society, replacing these brakes with what passes for modern life — disconnected, social media–driven, selfish, me-first living, with no real accountability. If you see "everyone" acting a certain way, who, after all, are you to buck the system? Besides, you're accountable to the Board, or the stockholders, first and foremost!
This is as old a story as humanity. Losing the strong moral code that should underlie our lives opens the door to saying, "Well, that's a gray area, and I won't think too much about it, and anyway, everyone's doing it this way." This was forcibly borne upon me because a good friend sent me an article that illuminates in a precise and fact-driven way what is going on and allows us to see exactly how evil aspects of our modern medical system have become. I'll summarize the article here, but I urge you to read it yourself.
If you're unlucky enough to need a hospital procedure, step one is a free COVID test. Of course, the government pays the hospital a fee for this "free" test. If the test is positive, the hospital gets another fee. No matter that the patient was in for appendicitis.

The COVID rewards continue with more money for admission — 20% more on the entire bill if they give you Remdesivir rather than ivermectin and a big booster payment for ventilation. The list goes on.
It’s worse than that.
The system is set up for hospitals to profit from patients dying from Covid 19 and not from treating it.
Hospitals have become the legalized “hit men” for the communist Fauxi regime. They’ve destroyed the credibility of the entire medical establishment with their BS....and it’s gonna take a long time to get it back, if ever.
Terry, where have you been? This tactic has been so very obvious as we observe the 360th anniversary of two-weeks-to-flatten-the-curve.
I had wonderful health insurance before Medicare. And less expensive too.
~70% of hospitals are non-profit or govt run, so there isn’t a particularly strong profit motive. Insurance companies, drug companies, medical device companies, yes, profit driven.
So, the government has used money to corrupt healthcare. . . duhhh. Government should NOT be in the healthcare business. . . .
A double amen to expensive Medicare. Just turned 65 in November. It is costing me about $400 a month more . . . thieving b@$+@rds.
[[Apparently, that’s what many medical providers and hospitals in America have been doing, ]]
And they will be held accountible,for,accountable,, when God calls,them to,account for it, especially in light of the fact that so many have died as a direct result of their greed and lust for Power. It’s just frustrating watching them, to get away with it now, but God is keeping score.
You are being snookered when you state that hospitals are “non-profit”. You’re drinking the Kool-aid.
You are technically correct but the reality is what counts, and the reality is the opposite of what most people think about when they see the word “non-profit” .
Let’s make a very slight change: The system is set up for hospitals to ENRICH THEMSELVES from COVID.
When you have a multi-million dollar enterprise which gets its money from charging exorbitant prices for services, and uses its millions to pay its principals multi-million dollar salaries and bonuses, so there’s nothing left over at the end of the year, what do you call it? Right. A “non-profit” enterprise. But the people running it still get hella rich at the expense of the public.
So let’s knock off this talk about “non-profit.”
Down with Profits!!
People should work for the good of the state, not providing needed services for compensation!!
All work should be to the glory of the state!!
If you want to die from Covid, you are almost guaranteed that by going to a hospital.
They take their marching orders from the CDC, and the established protocols almost guarantee that you will die in the hospital. Respirator, feeding tube, death. Paid. Repeat!
Seek out a physician who will treat you with what works, not what is mandated.
Biden’s Bounty on Your Life: Hospitals’ Incentive Payments for COVID-19!
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 be paid back if not “earned” by making the COVID-19 diagnosis and following the COVID-19 protocol.
The hospital payments include:
A “free” required PCR test in the Emergency Room or upon admission for every patient, with government-paid fee to hospital.
Added bonus payment for each positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
Another bonus for a COVID-19 admission to the hospital.
A 20 percent “boost” bonus payment from Medicare on the entire hospital bill for use of remdesivir instead of medicines such as Ivermectin.
Another and larger bonus payment to the hospital if a COVID-19 patient is mechanically ventilated.
More money to the hospital if cause of death is listed as COVID-19, even if patient did not die directly of COVID-19.
A COVID-19 diagnosis also provides extra payments to coroners.
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.

This is the article that opponents of shamdemic have been waiting for. I would add only that the COVID charges far exceed the marginal costs to the hospitals of providing the COVID-related services. The extra profits are then used to cover the cost of treating people for free and the cost of hospital pet projects.
Our system is so messed up. They wanted this pandemic to be worse....to destroy the economy and get rid of Trump.
Excellent description of non-profit.
“~70% of hospitals are non-profit or govt run, so there isn’t a particularly strong profit motive. Insurance companies, drug companies, medical device companies, yes, profit driven.”
Well, it’s pretty obvious you don’t understand much about non-profits. They want all the money they can get their hands on. Non-profit just means they don’t have to pay taxes on the excess (normally called profits)like the rest of us. They do benefit from “more free money” just like anyone else.
