I read recently that hospitals get $39,000 from the Federal government for each COVID-19 patient.

Up to.

Based upon what treatments were provided.

Not just because they walked in the door. It’s a payment schedule.

No one is being put on a ventilator because they’ve got a bladder infection, or an amputated leg, and thus the hospital can’t be reimbursed for that treatment without outright falsifying records. For that assertion, you’d need some evidence rather than hand-waving hysteria.
