[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4959035, member: 58386"] Of course they get more from Medicare , they are on Medicare assignment. Billings are based on procedures, procedures are identified by medical codes. Now if the hospital's attending physician determines that the patient is displaying symptoms that are consistent with COVID including laying there suffocating he or she immediately goes into COVID protocols. Now if you noticed this so called "interview" took place almost 6 months ago. I wonder what he has to say now? Secondly I wonder if the good senator got vaccinated? More importantly if he too found himself laying out in the hallway on an army cot fighting for every breath with every ounce of strength he has left in his body.... would he too be begging for a ventilator or worried about how much more that hospital is going to get paid by hooking him up to one even if one was available ? Or what if the attending physician and staff were to write him off as being too far gone deciding to focus their attention instead on those they think they can save and just let him lay there and choke to death on his own vomit? Would he accept that outcome? [/QUOTE]
