I looked into the claim that hospitals are being paid 'more' to 'list' deaths as Coronavirus :: This is true; but it's Due to the COST - it's much more expensive to treat Covid19; Ventilators are not cheap; hooking people onto those machines isn't easy;
Turning patients over throughout the day isn't easy; the Equipment they must wear (and buy) is more costly than usual; focusing on Covid19 and not other ailments also 'takes away' from what hospitals normally make; hence being paid 'more'
- not to 'list' but to Treat patients with this deadly disease; We have to stop misinforming the public; It's costing people their lives - and the lives of their loved ones --
I mean no offense; but a lot of people look for 'evidence' to support the beliefs they already hold; they don't 'dig deep' into stories; we over simplify complicated topics far too often; and that doesn't build a stronger world; it builds a WEAKER one. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/04/24/fact-check-medicare-hospitals-paid-more-covid-19-patients-coronavirus/3000638001/
that article explains, more in depth, 'why' -
we cannot afford (literally) to continue being simple minded; or not challenging ourselves to go further than the surface - that 'old normal' was not working for us - it cannot continue as we move forward; we must Improve -
