  1. I was surprised not to see my hometown teaching hospital, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (and related medical practices), on the top ten lists. They are a left wing, liberal, woke institution pushing Big Pharma “vacines” for the hyped up scamdemic. They still require masks in every facility they own. No one around here requires masks anymore.

    They are a first class medical provider, but I’ll be curious to see what their DEI admitted students do to their reputation 6-8 years from now.

  2. The Cleveland Clinic received massive amounts. Some Docs and others approaching $100,000. Later I will check if past surgeons took $$ from companies that made defective surgical hernia meshes. Those defective meshes resulted in a six hour surgery to have my abdominal wall reconstructed and a 10 day hospital stay.. I bet the mofo’s did and pronounced the meshes perfectly sound.

  3. My doc got $2,568. I would like to see the covid years too. I will say he never even asked about taking the shot. I think when I told him covid doesn’t exist he knew I wasn’t amiable to taking the bio weapon. 🙂

  4. Have any of you been receiving unsolicited Covid test kits?
    I’ve received two packages of four.
    A month or so before receiving the first set of test kits I got a Medicare statement of benefits saying Medicare had paid for a set of kits. Medicare paid $200 so I assume there will be another for the second set of test kits. We called Medicare after seeing the first statement regarding the $200 paid by Medicare. They didn’t seem interested. I just smashed up the test kits.
    No money out of pocket for me directly, but apparently these companies are scamming Medicare for these test kits. According to some articles, people have gotten as many as 30 kits. $200 for four kits multiplied by thousands of Medicare eligible seniors can possibly end up costing the system hundreds of thousands of dollars or possibly millions.
    Tell me again how the federal government can’t spare to cut some spending instead of continuing to raise the debt ceiling.

  5. What a bunch of BS! I retired from medicine in 2015. This list has me taking money ($24 for food) in 2018. The company listed has nothing to do with what I did in practice. Like most government “services”, it is inaccurate.
