Donald Trump: “Our doctors get more money if somebody dies from health, you know that, right? I mean, our doctors are very smart…”

On the recordOctober 30, 2020
Our doctors get more money if somebody dies from health, you know that, right? I mean, our doctors are very smart people. So what they do is they say I'm sorry, but you know, everybody does have COVID. With us, when in doubt, choose COVID. It's true. No, it's true. Now, they'll say, oh, it's terrible what he said, but that's true. It's like $2,000 more, so you get more money.
