Coronavirus SZN Forever

A. Yes
B. Some providers have still been asking people for their insurance at the time of vaccination
C. It could be entirely avoided in a single payer system where people never pay out of pocket for medical care

It could also be avoided by people learning how to freaking read, it's freaking completley 100% free and people just want to make this into a class warfare bullshit.

There's countless legitimate arguments you can make for universal medicaid. This is not one

I was asked for nothing when I got vaccinated not even sure if they asked for ID tbh though I imagine they at least peaked at my license

I've had to give my health insurance info every single time I've been tested. 6 times now?

They're charging the insurance companies whenever possible and have been all along.

I...just...Jesus freaking Christ.

🤷‍♂️

Definitely not a thing where I am

But regardless getting vaccinated isn't the same as getting tested.

If they're asking for insurance when vaccinating you that sucks, but that is not what I've seen in my region/social circles

I'm cool with a governor saying that it's unacceptable for schools to mandate masks for students just because.

I'm not a fan of all the bullshit justification behind that post, makes it seem dishonest.

Uhhh students shouldn't have to wear masks because of bacteria and fungus? Nonsense.

Except insurance literally isn't required to get the vaccine

One could extrapolate from the data uninsured people under the age of 65 are the least likely to be vaccinated for a variety of reasons.

Being under 65 they're at low risk, and if they're uninsured they probably don't have a job (or a job that requires a vaccination).

It's also not unreasonable to imagine that dumb derriere mother fuckers under the age of 65 are less likely to have health insurance. So is it insane to believe that dumb derriere mother fuckers are less likely to get vaccinated?

We are seeing the result of a population conditioned to fear massive financial punishment for seeking healthcare. It doesn't matter if you think they're stupid - the system is failing them.

Their numbers aren't a whole lot different from Republicans, presumably who are a bunch of uneducated hillbillies with delusional antivaxxer bullshit

I will say if they split those numbers up a little bit more ie uninsured over and under 40 years old it could paint a better picture.

Right now it's easy to assume that it's full of a ton of children in their teens 20s and 30s who don't have real jobs and have no issues or desire to get vaccinated.

I grew up with my parents having shitty to no insurance depending on who had a job. I still freak out about going to the doctor even with Tricare.

While I'm overwhelmingly anti anti-vaxxer, I tend to find these articles kind of dishonest when they don't mention patients in the ICU or deaths.

Is there 10,000 hospitalizations with severe COVID-19 ending up dead or in the ICU?

Or are we talking 10,000 barely symptomatic people who are hospitalized simply for observation (because of age comorbidities simply to isolate them from nursing homes facilities etc so they're not spreading)

Without context the number can mean two completely different things

Inclusive.

Inclusive.

Without the numbers it means much much less

Context matters and they don't give any context
. Presumably it's a lot easier to write the headline and not the article
