It's pretty well-established fact that hospitals benefit financially by taking COVID-19 patients. For example, see this source: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/04/24/fac...

Oh yeah hospitals all benefited so much from having to postpone expensive well-compensated elective surgeries for months, after which many of the heart, cancer, etc. patients were just dead so it wasn't so much a postponement as a cancellation. Their CFOs were turning cartwheels. Q people are really tying themselves in knots trying to explain away the excess deaths. (Hint: this goofy argument doesn't work either.)

I didn't say hospitals haven't undergone financial hardship due to COVID-19. In fact, the reason for the extra funding is precisely to alleviate the stress under which hospitals have been for the past ~year.

All I said was that hospitals receive extra funding from the government for taking in COVID-19 patients, relative to "normal" patients. This is indisputable and I was not making a broader point.

Don't try to lump me into a group such as QANON based on something I didn't say.
