Good for you. I’m sure it helps decrease the risk. We go to a Federally Qualified Health Center - they are required to accept all patients regardless of ability to pay and regardless of insurance or lack there of.
The price of service is based on ability to pay - set by the board of directors-up to 200% of federal poverty guidelines. My granddaughter recently had to go, and for an xray to determine broken bone or not, and Rx for antibiotic salve-it was $20 co-pay and $8 medicine.
If a person makes more than 200% of poverty, they will set up a payment schedule, on request. Had she needed additional test at a hospital, they would have arranged a financial discount and payment arrangements.
Much better than Obama Care. JMHO
Anyway, the government pushes the vaccines, but the center doesn’t, even though the government makes them track the number and offers “carrots” for doing it. I’m sure that sticks will be in the future, unless things change.
I think DR. that refuse to patients for vaccine decisions are appalling-188%.
Gonna have to look into this for me! (heart)
We don’t think we qualify for Obamacare - self employed, so our health insurance costs us about $14K a year. Then we have a huge deductible. Hospital stays have a $5k deductible. Had one of those this year, so that’s $19K right there. :-/
Federally Qualified Health Centers
OK, I never heard of these... BUT there are some Freepers who have told me they do not have health insurance...
Greeneyes tells us the price of service is based on ability to pay...200% of federal poverty guidelines.

Considering the amounts that we pay to subsidize ILLEGAL ALIENS and no-good-niks, I’ll slap any Freeper upside the haid who would be too proud to avail themselves of this service...
