One of the reasons for the increased deaths is the 88% fatality rate from putting covid patients on ventilators. Note that this is just NY, and I haven't found other resources: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/coronavirus-us-new-york-hospital-ventilator-death-rate-latest-a9479411.html

Minnesota State Sen. Scott Jensen, a family physician: I would remind him that anytime health care intersects with dollars it gets awkward. Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital, you’ll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/04/hospital-payments-and-the-covid-19-death-count/

So, admitting someone with covid, AND putting them on a ventilator gives hospitals a little over $50k/patient! That's enough to turn a blind eye of what led to 88% fatality rate in NY.
