In the news........"the pandemic has raised new questions about how to balance individual liberty with public health. The latest is whether people who

refuse to be vaxxed should pay for their own medical care out of pocket when they get COVID"

What do you think?

@anythingoes477 Do you mean just let the unvaccinated go untreated at high risk of death if they can't pay (and meantime let them spread the virus in public)?

I think there will always be people who put more strain on social programs than others do - sometimes unfairly, deliberately; even criminally. It's a cost that just has to be accepted if we want to make sure everyone who legitimately needs help can get it.

@Really Or............the ones "that can't pay" could separate in their minds the difference between "disease that could kill me" and "what my Lard and Savor Trump wants me to do"------and realize one is political and one is potentially life and death. Then simply get a FREE series of shots...like Trump did.....so the entire point of ICU, and out of pocket and insurance refusing to pay "maybe" is moot. Everything has a simple remedy....if people would stop trying to see if a harder one is better.

BTW--"I" don't mean anything......I simply posted a comment that is topical for comments.
