Medicare furor over the "bonus" for CV-19 has definitely been made political.
To me it makes sense to pay hospitals more to maintain isolation units for infectious diseases. Someone (Sen. Jensen?) mentioned that getting paid more increased the incentive to break the law. Duh. It was then turned into a political football by those with an axe to grind.
But the laws against insurance fraud and Medicare fraud have not been repealed. You lie about a diagnosis and it's still a crime.
