Hospitals in the US are getting money for diagnosing Covid19. They get more money if those patients are then put on ventilators. It’s time we really started thinking about what that means.
Early on in the launch of the Sars-Cov-2/Covid19 “pandemic”, it was revealed by Dr Scott Jensen that hospitals in the US were getting paid bonuses for diagnosing Covid19 in their patients, and then larger bonuses again if those patients were put on ventilators.
We’re not fact-checking that. We don’t need to. It’s already been done.
As soon as his words were aired, the “independent fact checkers” descended upon them in an effort to prove him wrong. They could not. Resorting instead to weasel words and obfuscations.
Snopes found his assertions “plausible”, Politifact called it “half true”, and FactCheck said it was true, writing:
Recent legislation pays hospitals higher Medicare rates for COVID-19 patients and treatment…
Before adding:
…but there is no evidence of fraudulent reporting.”
Which is funny because, to that point, nobody had suggested anything fraudulent. Jensen himself went out of his way to say he didn’t think there was any fraud, but there was an “avenue” for it. Obviously the “fact checkers” agreed, because they all felt the need to add very similar qualifications.
The very fact they rushed to pre-emptively defend the practice illustrates how potentially corrupt it is.
The key fact here, established and unchallenged, is that the CARES act does direct a 20% bonus Medicaid payment to hospitals for every diagnosis of Covid19, and a greater payment again for the use of a ventilator.
As I said, we’re not fact-checking that. And we can’t fact-check whether or not there is “fraudulent reporting”, but there’s no denying that these payouts potentially incentivise artificially inflating case numbers.
How big an incentive are we talking about?
The CARES act channelled $175bn dollars into the “fight” against coronavirus, including $15 billion purely for treating COVID patients without insurance.
15 BILLION dollars. That’s a lot of extra money.
You couldn’t blame a doctor for gaming the system to get a little for his struggling, under-funded clinic. For labelling some unknown respiratory illness “Covid19”, or re-ordering a test known to create false-positives until he gets the result which may pay a nurse’s salary, or re-stock a pharmacy.
If a few thousand doctors do that a few hundred times each, you’ve created a “pandemic” out of nowhere, with a comparatively small outlay and 99% of those involved believing they’re doing the right thing.
The American medical system is broken, of course. Has been for decades, and Dr Jensen’s revelations received a comparatively large amount of coverage which people in the UK and Europe largely filed away as “just American healthcare doing American healthcare things”.

You mean the hospitals that charge $5 for a bandaid and $10 for an aspirin are going to honestly report covid diagnoses and treatments.
It’s bigger than that. “They” needed an excuse to shut down the world, to create fear, chaos and death. To set the stage for the event that will change the world… a true pandemic that will kill millions, maybe billions. “They” are looking forward to a world of their creation, built for them, at the expense of the few (relatively speaking) who remain beneath “them.”
A change is coming but not what “they” envision.
We, the human race, took a wrong turn a couple of centuries ago. We placed things above people. We assumed technology equaled progress. We imagined a future of flying cars, instant everything, where we can have anything we WANT. All to fill that hole within, with things, little realizing no thing can do that. It’s coming alright, but first, there’s the cleansing.
No mention of insurance providers. They get the majority of payments NOT hospitals.. Hospitals and physicians are told what to diagnose and code to ” charge capture ” and to hide it from the public. Wake up sheeple….we have had socialized medicine in this country 40 years.
My employer went to “managed care” in 1976 and in less than a New York minute the wheels all started coming off. Our plan had worked well before but managed care launched the tsunami that destroyed a functioning system.
In my opinion, falsifying tests and then putting someone who is not positive in a ward with people who are positive, is medical malpractice, but call me crazy. The average test results take hours, and rapid testing is not being used except in cases where someone has already been showing symptoms:
https://www.msn.com/en-ph/news/national/covid-19-rapid-test-guidelines-released-%E2%80%94doh/ar-BB11Xdpm
Then putting people who don’t need a ventilator, on 8 different drugs (https://www.respiratorytherapyzone.com/drugs-for-mechanical-ventilation/), then giving them lung injuries (https://www.medscape.com/answers/810126-45456/what-are-the-effects-of-ventilator-induced-lung-injury) is medical murder.
Just read what the drugs given do to a person. They are on them for THIRTY DAYS. These drugs can cause slow heart rate and low blood pressure. Now take a person who might already have blood pressure issues or COPD, put them on those drugs, and they don’t have a snow ball’s chance in hell of coming out of it.
Even a younger person with zero underlying complications who is put on this drug cocktail and then intubated and ventilated is going to have issues.

Since we are not seeing the statistics for how many ventilated patient’s have survived, it makes me wonder why these numbers are not talked about as for weeks all that we heard was “there’s a ventilator shortage we need ventilators give us the ventilators” and on and on ad nauseum. Of course we have heard plenty about how bad hydroxychloroquine/zinc is. Wonder why….
Now, anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together knows that the medical industry in this country is rife with error. These errors are across the board, and despite the increasing use of technology to prevent certain types, they are still sky high:
https://mymedicalscore.com/medical-error-statistics/
There have been many articles and news stories about the 250K people who die from medical errors:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28186008/
But taking that with some logic thrown in leads a reasonable person to perhaps come to this conclusion:
Honest medical mistakes will happen, people are not machines
The numbers may be higher than reported if there is no inquiry into a death due to no other family members stepping forward to demand it, a cover up by the hospital, or the error never even being caught in the first place.
I think anyone who has dealt with any doctor of medicine can quickly realize some things:
Give someone a hammer and everything looks like a nail. A surgeon will pretty much always see surgery as a solution because that is their training, whereas a GP may overlook something more serious because they lack the specialization needed to see it.
Covid-19 treatment leaves much more room for not only medical error:
https://www.healthline.com/health/shortness-of-breath-anxiety
But outright fraud due to the very high cash incentives for diagnosis and ventilator treatment. Now couple that with lack of “elective procedures” which tend to be cash cows, lack of MRIs, CAT scans, etc and you have a perfect storm of hospitals needing cash and no where to get it.
Then you tack on family members prohibited from being in proximity to their loved ones that can ask questions and advocate for patients, and boom…ventilator here you come.
I am anticipating the attorney vulture swarm to start sometime soon, as this could be a massive windfall for victims of covid malpractice and their families in places like New York.
This smacks of class action level lawsuits.
And then we have this little jewel which has not been publicized anywhere on the Doom Porn channels:
https://www.pennlive.com/opinion/2020/06/why-gov-wolfs-medical-liability-order-creates-more-stress-for-physicians-opinion.html
So if you had any chance of not being shuttled to a hospital where you can await your drug smorgasbord and tube of death, think again
The Doom Porn purveyors know how to manipulate headlines to look as bad as possible. Look at these two lines:
“Covid -19 cases rise as infections break out in Southern States”
Versus:
“Covid-19 deaths fall to lowest level ever in Southern States”
Both are true but which one is most likely to scare the American public? Because being infected does not mean you will get sick, as the asymptomatic rate is very high.
Today’s “news” is not reporting facts in a neutral manner. It’s about attention-grabbing headlines that will keep Americans terrified of going out of their homes, taking off their masks, and going back to work.
When you subsidize something, you get more of it and it was necessary to get buy-in from the hospitals to prove the “pandemic”.
The single greatest enemy of this country and the ideals of freedom and liberty is the MSM. And I include the tech giants in that group.
Without their promiscuous and corrupt service the government and its health officials would have no way of promulgating the lies, falsehoods, panic and hysteria so crucial in control of a population.
The MSM are criminals and they and their temples need to be destroyed.
Most hospital CEOs are about as virtuous as the worst of corporate raiders.
If you watch the nurse whistleblower video (still, incredibly, up on YouTube) you will see, as they say, “where the rubber meets the road”.
