From what I’ve seen, private doesn't pay more, so this doesn’t pass the sniff test.

you need to point your nose in the direction the wind blows.

The private (insurance) sector has nothing to do with this. The hospital Admin is expecting Fed Funds (in additon to Medi what ever) to pay for the loss in revenue. The initial fed program clearly stated COVID admissions will be handled "special".

Your nose needs work.
