THIS IS HUGE! Advertisement - story continues below Last night Senator Dr. Scott Jensen from Minnesota went on The Ingraham Angle to discuss how the AMA is encouraging American doctors to overcount coronavirus deaths across the US. This was after Dr. Scott Jensen, a Minnesota physician and Republican state senator, told a local station he received a 7-page document coaching him to fill out death certificates with a COVID-19 diagnosis without a lab test to confirm the patient actually had the virus. Dr. Jensen also disclosed that hospitals are paid more if they list patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis. Senator Dr. Scott Jensen: Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do. Via Ingraham Angle: Advertisement - story continues below 
And hospitals get paid THREE TIMES AS MUCH if the patient then goes on a ventilator.

Why am I NOT surprised ???
Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." (Will Rogers) "No one ever rescues an old dog. They lay in a cage until they die. PLEASE save one. None of us wants to die cold and alone... --Dennis Olson " People that say money can't buy you happiness, have never paid an adoption fee
"During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, the average cost of a patient hospital stay was $11,000 compared to $8,500 during the 2008 influenza season, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality." ANY flu admission to a hospital is expensive. No need for hospitals to lie about it to the government and risk getting caught.
