How much do hospitals collect on average for corpses brought to the mortuary whose toe tag said something other than COVID? How long were the hospital stays & what other services did the bill for? What was the impact of the hospitals being forced to shut down their imaging & diagnostic programs, their outpatient procedures & surgeries (their profit centers)? How many of these $32K COVID bonuses did the hospitals collect? How many people died of COVID in hospitals vs nursing homes & other care facilities? $32K is a meaningless figure.Marginally higher? They were collecting $32,000 dollars on average for every corpse brough to the mortuary with a toe tag that said COVID. This was on top of all the other billing they submitted for care of the patient.
I have been on the Board of Directors of the local community hospital since 2006. I’m very familiar w the operations of the hospital, particularly the financial side. As a member of the hospital Executive Committee I was getting weekly Zoom briefings from the CEO, Medical Director & other members of senior management including reports of how many cases, admittances & deaths and financial implications. Also on what was happening in the rest of the hospital as well as other hospitals throughout the State. Our hospital, a not for profit, had 20 years of straight operating surpluses. Since 2020 they have had operating losses as have most other hospitals in the State. It’s publicly available information but I’d love to see you show some evidence (infowars isn’t evidence) that hospitals profited from COVID.
