Why is the death rate so high? There is a financial incentive if a person with Medicare is diagnosed with Covid. $13,000 and up to $39,000 if a patient is put on a respirator. Plus other billables if Covid is involved. Hospitals have been told not to perform elective surgery so that beds could be available and also this would prevent social contact that would slow the spread of the virus. Hospitals are a business and with the flick of a pen and an executive order they lost a good part of their business. Some of the smaller hospitals in more rural areas of Michigan, where I live, are now looking at filing for bankruptcy. You have to make up the the money somehow. It is about survival-staying in business. I do not blame the hospitals. $13,000-$39,000 can help fill that gap. It also artificially boosts the death rate. This is just one of many reasons for questionable high numbers. With that said, where does treating hospitals fairly end and the politics begin.
