Well, cursory research is showing every liberal news outlet who reviewed it saying fact-check false”. Quote from Austin American Statesman (read into wordage);
"Every (Blue Cross Blue Shield) company sets its own value-based contracts with local providers," said a Blue Cross Blue Shield spokesperson. "The purpose of any performance-based incentives, where they exist, is to reward implementation of well-established evidence-based best practices in the care of our members. While vaccinations may fall into that category, they would not be the sole performance measure. Any incentives cover a broad collection of best practices. Blue Cross Blue Shield chief medical officer Vincent Nelson told Lead Stories, "Physicians (and) providers can be incentivized through their work with independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies, but the implication in this post that physicians (and) providers pursue childhood vaccinations solely for financial reasons is false.">
HOWEVER, Children’s Health Defense basically says there’s TRUTH to it;
A widely reported example of this type of pay-for-performance model is the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan “Performance Recognition Program,” which uses “meaningful” payments to reward Blue Care Network (BCN) health maintenance organization (HMO) providers “who encourage their patients to get preventive screenings and procedures.” For vaccination, providers receive $400 for each eligible two-year-old who has received all 24-25 vaccines shown below, but only if the provider manages to administer each and every shot to at least 63% of his or her patients. Thus, there is a formidable incentive not to let any patients slip through the cracks>
The reason i'm asking for undeniable proof is my wife is in health care and doesn't believe anything i tell her cause she is brainwashed by the lies they pump in her smooth brain.
Whether it's from the MSM or from the CHD, it's still second-hand reporting on something that should have a primary document available. If this program is part of a conspiracy to push the COVID vaccine, there should be some sort of a contract established with every doctor participating in this program. BCBS is an ENORMOUS organization and the insurance companies within it are accepted by hundreds of thousands of physicians.
Not sure this document is what you think it is.
The "Performance Recognition Program" existed well before COVID (the document cited in your source is from 2016).
Vaccination is not the sole basis upon which doctors are reimbursed under this specific program. It involves a lot of preventative medicine stuff, which includes mammograms and hypertension checks (all listed in the sourced document). And again, this program has existed long before COVID: vaccination has been a staple of preventative medicine since its invention.
There is a HUGE profit incentive for insurance companies to reward preventative medicine. It costs WAY LESS to fund a patient's mammogram than to fund their cancer treatment. It costs WAY LESS to do basic hypertension checks than to pay for a damaged heart. It costs WAY LESS to pay for a MMR vaccine than it does to pay for a measles outbreak.
Insurance companies have very non-altrustic and non-conspiratorial reasons to be funding preventative medicine, and while I know how this board feels about the COVID vaccine, vaccinations in general are not really considered controversial by medical experts, and so nobody is going to react with alarm at a story that insurance companies, since before COVID, incentivize doctors to keep patients from getting expensively sick.
I understand your argument, but nothing I can find documented about this situation is going to cause alarm, because nothing here seems to be reacting to COVID (since it existed before COVID) nor establishes any behavior by doctors or insurance people that shows them acting in a way not recommended by BOTH medical necessity AND capitalistic profitability.
Frustratingly, those things sometimes go hand in hand.
Just…wow. I’m helping my neighbor now get through her cancer treatments and every time we walk into the hospital I feel the evil. Dunno how to describe it in words, it just feels all wrong. Sucks when this war hits home?

I deleted the post because I couldn’t find enough sauce. TY for your extra effort in explaining!
Of course. That’s why we’re all here.
