There have been many accusations of health networks assigning Covid as the cause of death to access federal funds. The shortage of staff allowed admins to do this - essentially unfindable crime as it would need tests of exhumed remains or have no way to find ever if the deceased had been cremated? I saw some press on this, but I not know the current state of inquiries (if any ) into this aspect.
- rbetts 5y agoComparison to historical death rates contradict this speculation. See for example the Economist link provided in an earlier comment.
- aurizon 5y agoYes, I see, it does reflect matters. Of course natural deaths embedded in covid would not be seen, but the invoices to the feds would be larger. Obviously a forensic comparison is needed to see if the states really tried to milk the cash cow?
- drekk 5y agoOr we could just not have a for-profit healthcare system and choose a less ridiculous way of allocating public health funds. Seems easier than an inquisition from the crowd that thinks COVID isn't real/is being overblown for nefarious ends.
