The demographic cliff is here.
Syracuse offered students significant discounts to attend but still ended up under-enrolled.
The university has already offered buyouts to 175 professors and closed 93 majors.
And the pop. of 18-year-olds “will decline for the next 15 years.”
This woman is a fraud who doesn't know we can fact-check her.
I found where she made the claim, and it provides some specifics: "If I had vaccinated the 6000 patients I treated for C0VID, I would have made $1.5 million."
This means she would've had to have been reimbursed $250 per patient. She attributed this number to a Blue Cross Blue Shield incentive program. But, the program she cites does not apply to her practice, which is in Houston, TX.
The program she's referring to is for participating Kentucky primary-care providers with an Anthem Medicaid panel of at least 25 members, and it involves tiered bonuses if the practice meets vaccination rate thresholds, with the highest final bonus being $250 per newly-vaccinated Anthem member, if the practice reaches a 75% vaccination threshold.
She's trying to claim that a Houston ENT could "vaccinate all her patients" and automatically collect $250 a piece. But she got the state wrong and she detailed how the program works incorrectly, too. She's even foolishly making these mistakes again in the comments section of this post.
To make matters worse, her own site says it's not possible for this to have applied to her. On her page, it says: "BreatheMD is a cash-pay facility, and Dr Bowden has opted out of all insurance plans".
The website currently, and for the past few years, has shown this, and the patient numbers given on the site do not match up with the timing of this program's existence either. There's no way to make her claims work, and her claims are about gross earnings, too. In reality, she still wouldn't have made $1.5m net with $250/person * 6,000 patients.
She's just a complete and obvious liar!
Now, if we're exceedingly generous, we can check what standard Medicare COVID reimbursement payments would've grossed her. The Biden-Harris administration upped payments to about $40 per dose, or $80 for a two-dose series. Thus, with 6,000 people and assuming everyone gets two doses, she'd have just grossed $480,000.
And you know what? I'm feeling really generous. The highest-paying commercial private insurer bonus -- which, again, her practice would not have been eligible for -- is $64. But reimbursements cluster near the Medicare rate of $40, and often below it. If you add the Medicare in-home add-on, then payments can go up to $75/dose for qualifying home vaccination visits, but this would not even apply to her office-based rates. Good luck getting to $1.5 million!
This woman is a delusional liar who doesn't expect anyone to fact-check her. Joe did not bother fact-checking her; instead, he seems to have just believed her obvious lying.
