Are hospitalizations going up because hospitals are admitting people they wouldn’t normally have to make money?

That’s not how hospitals make money. Since Obamacare kicked in, hospitals make money by getting people in and out ASAP. It’s all about turnover. Taking covid patients locks up a room for 2 weeks or more. That’s the way to LOSE money in the current format.

Based on what I was told, they are testing everyone admitted to the hospital for COVID. If you’re positive, you’re in the hospitalization stats. Regardless of your symptoms or why you’re being admitted.

That is very likely. Hospitals and medical facilities have started up outpatient and elective surgeries again. Surgeons & support staff lost their asses for the 2 months things shut down.
