Update.  Found this on 8kun, but it has no source, so take with a grain of salt.  If true, it answers part of the $$ question, but we still don't know how much they are paid for a non-covid-19 death.  If hospitals are listing as many Covid-19 death as possible on death certificates, it may be a way to profit. Medicare pays hospitals $13,000 per Covid-19 death, but pays $39,000 if the hospital put the patient on a ventilator.
