Here’s a concept… Why don’t you act like an adult?
as for the more money.....
here
still, it’s media, so take it for what it’s worth. Makes sense though......inflate your numbers for more money.
You really have a problem with credibility!!
I might act like an adult if you actually didn`t post bull shit!
so you admit you are out of your league and do not know what you are talking about??
First of all -- you do know about laura Ingraham`s credibility problem??
Dr. Scott Jensen, a senator and physician in Minnesota, was interviewed by
"The Ingraham Angle" host Laura Ingraham on April 8 on
Fox News and claimed hospitals get paid more if Medicare patients are listed as having COVID-19 and get three times as much money if they end up needing a ventilator.
That link did not support at all your premise that the number is purposely being highly elevated! You didn`t even read the article! This was taken from the exact article that you posted.....
The article did explain accordinmg to the FOX news guest how it could be elevated...yet he evenb walked back some of what he said, later in the article.....
Plus nowhere in the article was his OPINION sup[ported by facts! alas a
Hospitals are paid more for Medicare patients with COVID-19, but a senator who first said that says he doesn't think the system is being gamed.

Ask FactCheck also weighed in on April 21, stating: "The figures cited by Jensen generally square with estimated Medicare payments for COVID-19 hospitalizations, based on average Medicare payments for patients with similar diagnoses."
Ask FactCheck reporter Angelo Fichera, who interviewed Jensen, noted: "Jensen said he did not think that hospitals were intentionally misclassifying cases for financial reasons. But that’s how his comments have been widely interpreted and paraded on social media."
Ask FactCheck's conclusion: "Recent legislation pays hospitals higher Medicare rates for COVID-19 patients and treatment, but there is no evidence of fraudulent reporting."
Julie Aultman, a member of the editorial board of the American Medical Association’s AMA Journal of Ethics, told PolitiFact it is “very unlikely that physicians or hospitals will falsify data or be motivated by money to do so.”
