Mr. Velde,

Starting in 1973, health care in this country became for profit. Hospitals have to make money. I would think the fees are set by insurance companies and or medicare. You didn't clarify, but I'll assume you think the costs are too high. If this is the case how many dollars do you think a hospital should receive (if any) per Covid19 case? How many dollars do you think a hospital should receive (if any) if a Covid19 patient is so sick they require a ventilator?
