Alex Jones fabricated the claim that Snopes stated a fact-check about hospital payments was untrue.

I can say pretty comfortably that Alex did not read those four pages. The article on USA Today doesn't say that Snopes said that this point isn't true. The only two points Snopes is even mentioned are using Snopes as a citation because they reported that a meme about this issue was quote shared on social media in mid-April. And then later in the article, Snopes comes up again in this line: quote, Snopes investigated the claim, finding it's plausible Medicare pays in the range Jensen, the guy who was on Fox News talking about this, mentioned, but doesn't have a one-size-fits-all payment to hospitals for COVID-19 patients. So nowhere in the article does it say that Snopes said that this wasn't true. Alex is making that up because he wants to make it look like Snopes was lying in their fact check.
