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.

You admit a borderline covid case sat 90s on room air, watch them a couple days, discharge, profit
