    Fact check: Hospitals get paid more if patients listed as COVID-19, on ventilators
    Jensen didn't explicitly make that claim. He simply suggested there is an "avenue" to do so now that "plausible" COVID-19, not just laboratory-confirmed, cases can be greenlighted for Medicare payment and eligible for the 20% add-on allowed under the relief act.

    How many of those would have died from age related conditions that are classified as covid deaths. 41% of all covid deaths were people who had been in nursing homes. The overall death rate for those who have contracted the virus is infintesimal

    I have issue with your statement that the people who died from COVID would have died this year anyway.

    Rounded down, 2.8 million people died in the US in 2017 and 2018. If 200K died from corona that is a 7% increase. I'll give you half of them would have died anyway. Still 3.5%.

    What do you consider statistically significant?

    Bengal as both the CDC and Scientific American explain they are using the same methodology used for EVERY OTHER cause of death. So it’s as accurate as can be with today’s medical knowledge. You can eith accept every death rate statistic or none. You can’t pick and choose.
    Again you’re relying on admitted supposition over established medical practice. The same can be claimed for any death if you want to ignore the data. I’m surprised it isn’t blamed on the “deep state” out to get Trump.

    The problem, Winston, is that they can put covid on a death certificate without even testing someone. That is a huge red flag.

    Just as you’re relying on hospital administrators, etc. to NOT profit by gaming the system....

    I suspect you know the answer to which is most likely.

    question: do hospitals receive more money for a COVID death? Yes/No
