I was in a hospital room for a week.. 35k... it does NOT cost 35k to put someone on oxygen and a steroid and put them in a room by themselves for a week and provide food for them and someone to stop by and check on them every few hours... If I equate the room to a fancy hotel room I come out at about 3000k for the room, and the nurse at about 1400 given the local hospitals 1:6 nurse patient ratio and assuming about $50 an hour for the nurse. We can assume another $1500 for DR and scan costs... as high but not eye watering compared to reality. This comes out to about $6000 or $1000 a day roughly not the nearly $5000 a day I paid though my insurance. So... DOGE needs to live up to its name and make medicare more EFFICIENT... a bag of saline cost $8 not $1200 etc... no matter how they code it. Hospitals I think in many areas preferred people to get sicker so they could become lucrative covid patients.
