I never commented if I thought the members were distorted
I’m asking how distorted do you think they are. 10% inflated? 100%? 500%?
my thought is, and always was, that a small % of the population would participate in fraud, but not every doctor, nurse, and hospital.
I don’t know that it is “knowingly”. It doesn’t have to be a conspiracy theory. If a hospital policy states they test everyone that is admitted for covid and a positive result goes in the patient file, when that patient passes it might be an automatic computer record keeping thing. The hospital billing automatically does their process.
I’m not sure if anyone can go back and say for sure what is what. Elderly people die of pneumonia all the time. Is that pneumonia related to covid or not. Who could tell after the fact. Would a traffic accident victim recover if they didn’t have covid also? Cancer patients with weak immune systems, did they die from the cancer that ravaged them or the covid at the end? But these all get counted in the covid death toll and also get billed accordingly.
