Do you think it is totally made up? I mean is it a mere baseless thought due to the political tension, or it is an exaggeration to some fact?

It’s true to say that hospitals get reimbursed more for Medicare patients who die of Covid. The thing people take issue with is the suggestion it’s being labeled fraudulently. That reaction surprises me when Medicare fraud is a well known, long standing issue.pic.twitter.com/lwmAItQYod

I think (i might be wrong here) the point is that hospitals with more covid patients get more money than hospitals with the same amount of total patients but less covid cases. I dont think it has anything to do with them dying (?)

Kinda makes sense though considering the severity of covid cases that Hospitals ( and maybe by association doctors) get paid more, because they need more equipment and do more work?
