Matt McGregor, The Epoch Times: Hospital That Allows for Patient Options in Healthcare Enters Ninth Month Without Federal Reimbursement
Tom Renz, an attorney with America’s Frontline Doctors and Make Americans Free Again—organizations that oppose unconstitutional federal health mandates —spoke with The Epoch Times about the reimbursements.
Renz said hospitals get federal funding through the CARES Act, which gives a 20 percent increase in reimbursement to hospitals for inpatient stays resulting from COVID-19.
“The laws are structured in a way that incentivizes hospitals to kill people,” he said. “The hospital makes more money if you die from COVID-19 than if you recover from it. Why don’t we incentivize hospitals for getting people cured of COVID?”
Not only is the federal government incentivizing death, Renz said, but it’s now penalizing hospitals that don’t follow its protocols but instead allow for treatments that are safe and effective.
“You’ve got a hospital that is serving low-income people in impoverished neighborhoods where there’s a need for healthcare services, and they’ve pulled its funding,” Renz said.
Renz asked why CMS hasn’t investigated the hospital from where Scott Quiner was flown given the allegations his wife Anne made against it.
“Are they doing an investigation into the hospital that actually said in their response to a temporary restraining order filed against it that they are going to be requesting in a court order that they be allowed to remove life support from Anne’s husband and let him die against their wishes?” Renz asked. “What sort of investigation has CMS done on that? They knew Anne wanted her husband to live, and they were going to pull life support against her wishes, even though she was the only person with authority to make that decision.”
