If you'd like to see the transcript of this interview released back on May 7, 2020, find it here at the 1:27:29 mark. But anybody who's anybody who has tracked anything about COVID knows that the hospitals have been diagnosing everybody with COVID in 2020 because Medicare paid out on it. And further, if you read the transcript, you'll also see what Elon Musk got wrong.
In fact, the first person that I'd heard tell on this was Dr. Scott Jensen who explained this back on April 10, 2020.
In fact, back then I wrote,
His name is Dr. Scott Jensen, a former Minnesota state senator. Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 diagnosis, the hospital where that diagnosis is made gets $19,000 from Medicare. If a patient is put on a ventilator, that hospital receives $39,000. A nurse friend of mine said that one of the reasons that the hospitals have closed up their COVID wards is that they need to make money. The money isn't in COVID for most of these; it's in elective surgeries.
Jensen said, "Hospital administrators might well want to see COVID-19 attached to a discharge summary or a death certificate. Why? Because if it's a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for – if they're Medicare – typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be $5,000. But if it's COVID-19 pneumonia, then it's $13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000."
This interview by Laura Ingraham of Alex Berenson and Phil Kerpen goes into even greater detail, where I explained that
The [following] video comes from Dale Steinreich over at Lew Rockwell. The guests are Alex Berenson and Phil Kerpen. DRGs are mentioned. DRG stands for Diagnosis-Related Group Payment System.
Sorry that it's not Elon Musk.
