On March 25, 2020 the 116th US Congress  passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act  (H.R. 748) know as the “CARES Act” which was signed into law on March 27, 2020 by President Trump. [1, 2]

This “was by far the most expensive single spending bill ever enacted in American history, at about $2.2 trillion“, with 335 pages of provisions the law provided funding for. With hospitals incentivised with billions if they follow rigid NIH treatment protocols, based on a PCR test, plus CMS waiver of patient rights, created hospital death prisons. [9]

“Prior to the March 25 vote, the bill was the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019. The text of that bill was enacted as part of H.R. 1865 on Dec. 20, 2019.” [7, 8]

“The CARES Act implemented a variety of programs to address issues related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic”, including healthcare waivers. [3, 6]

Through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) the Act provided “incentives for hospitals to use treatments dictated solely by the federal government under the auspices of the NIH. These “bounties” must be paid back if not “earned” by making the COVID-19 diagnosis and following the COVID-19 protocol.” [4, 5]

The hospital “incentive” payments included:

  • A “free” required PCR test in the Emergency Room or upon admission for every patient, with government-paid fee to hospital
  • Added bonus payment for each positive COVID-19 diagnosis [positive PCR test.
  • Another bonus for a COVID-19 admission to the hospital.
  • A 20% “boost” bonus payment from Medicare on the entire hospital bill for use of remdesivir instead of medicines such as Ivermectin.
  • Another and larger bonus payment to the hospital if a COVID-19 patient is mechanically ventilated.
  • More money to the hospital if cause of death is listed as COVID-19, even if patient did not die directly of COVID-19
  • A COVID-19 diagnosis also provides extra payments to coroners.”
