Occupy Democrats: Force Unvaccinated to ‘Pay Out of Pocket’ for Hospital Treatment if They Catch Coronavirus
Breitbart ^ | 10 Dec 2021 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 12/10/2021 11:03:26 AM PST by conservative98

Occupy Democrats, a left-wing grassroots political organization, is urging Americans to support measures requiring unvaccinated individuals to “pay out of pocket” for all hospital treatment in the event they contract the Chinese coronavirus and have to be treated at a hospital.

“BREAKING: Illinois introduces a bill to force unvaccinated residents to pay out of pocket for their hospital treatment if they catch COVID, saying that they ‘must assume the risk’ and ‘take responsibility’ for their carelessness,” the progressive organization stated this week, asking followers to retweet if they believe their state should do the same.

“If you’re a Democrat who supports the bill that Illinois just filed to force the unvaccinated to pay for their own hospitalization costs out of pocket, and are looking for the latest breaking news, please retweet and follow our account to be immediately notified when we tweet!” it added:

Indeed, this week Illinois state Rep. Jonathon Carroll filed HB 4259, which would “require them [the unvaccinated] to cover medical costs associated with contracting the virus, even if they have health insurance,” as NBC Chicago reported.

However, Carroll issued a statement Thursday on his Facebook page saying he has “decided not to pursue this legislation” after receiving feedback and after giving the matter “further reflection.” Carroll said:

"Due to the unintended divisive nature of HB4259, I’ve decided not to pursue this legislation. Based on feedback and further reflection, we need to heal as a country and work together on common-sense solutions to put the pandemic behind us. Since taking office, I’ve always tried to have civil discourse with those who’ve disagreed with me. However, violent threats made against me, my family and my staff are reprehensible. I hope we can return to a more positive discourse on public health"

Uh, only if the vaxxed are required to pay out of pocket when they need treatment for myocarditis or other deleterious side effects from willing submitting to being treated with EUA drugs.. Sounds fair,

I resent that they call me vaccine hesitant. My decision to not get vaxxed is certain.

The more they push with ever more extreme measures, the more one realizes they have nothing in the way of logic to sell the vaxx and being primitive and tribalistic by their nature, they rapidly ditch any attempt at logic and resort to force and intimidation.

I say that science supports that it is the vaccinated that should have to pay out of pocket.

At this point, anyone who actually goes to the hospital specifically to be treated for COVID is a fool.

The science says that obese people are at greatest risk from Covid. Maybe we should start taxing people based on body fat? Start with Jonathan Carroll.— jack of all (@jackofa11359113) December 7, 2021

Jonathon Carroll, Are you 50 or 60 lbs overweight?

A tube of horse wormer is more effective than what the medical establishment will give you if you wind up in a hospital.

Dear Customer:

As for your claim, please understand that your premiums only cover the cost of management salaries and the dividends to the shareholders. We’d call it wealth insurance instead of health insurance, but marketing told us that telling the truth would hurt our sales income.

Wrong.

Let those who have to be hospitalized from their inoculation with experimental unproven gene therapy protein substances ("vaccination" redefined) pay for their own costs, and sue the fear-mongers who forced them into it.

The problem is that people still get bacterial and viral pneumonia from other germs and people’s throats still close up when they get strep bad enough.

People also, especially if they have other conditions, can get dangerous blood pressure issues with a bad enough sinus infection. Kidneys can shut down if one gets food poisoning and gets dehydrated.

All these can be coded as Covid if a hospital wants the Covid cash.

True enough, but that's all the more reason to avoid going to a hospital for pretty much any reason if it can be avoided. And if the hospital wishes to "treat" for COVID after one has been admitted for some other reason, one should simply leave. The "treatment" one is likely to get in a hospital will kill you. The hospitals have absolutely no incentive to see that one gets well but plenty of incentive of putting one on a vent and killing you outright for that sweet, sweet government money.
