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"

Make homosexuals pay for their own HIV treatments and all the sodomy transmitted diseases they catch.
The families of Occupy Democrats should be required to pay twice the average for funeral expenses.
They really want you to die.
Take it out of my Osamacare.
Ha ha! Only an idiot would go to the hospital with Covid. They’ll kill you there. You have a better chance at home.
I never hesitated.
Also Occupy Democrats - Healthcare is a civil right and should be free
I agree with you about avoiding hospitals.
It is just sometimes people do get to a point where they are going to die from run complications of the basic flu or strep if they don’t go to a hospital.
And is it going to reach a point where insurance companies try to get out of paying the bills for someone hospitalized overnight due to surgery to set a badly broken ankle and that person happens to test positive for Covid? Are they going to try to say he fell from the ladder because he was dizzy from having Covid?
I read yesterday on a FR thread that he pulled the bill~! He had death threats which likely would be a factor
Why? The mRNA shot recipients also go into the hospital for treatment.
This divisiveness does nothing helpful.
Back door to socialized medicine. We’re being played with this.
I suspect this is why they are mandating healthcare workers to get the jab...not enough staff to cover hospitals...so need the feds...
Shame there are so many pro-vaxxers here who have not figured this out :(
Im confused... I thought everything the government “gives” us is “free”???
Don’t forget people who got into an auto accident and weren’t wearing seat belts. The possibilities are endless.
Shouldn’t the jabbed have to pay for the jabs then? But more importantly shouldn’t big pharma pay for deaths and injuries caused by jab? Or employers or other agencies that coerced people to take it? Or even better shouldn’t big tech and people who pushed the now probably false assurance that the jabs were safe share in finacial liabilty for the deaths and injuries their misguided medical information brought about? Now I might not go that far, but if we go there let’s be consistent when we do.
When the suing starts Politicians should be included
Only if we start making drug addicts pay for their medical and emergency service bills. Have you ever been to an emergency room? They are filled with OD’s and drunks.
I like how you thing, blackdog!
They’ll just say they got it from someone that was unvaccinated, count their money and walk away.
He decided not to go ahead with the legislation because he saw the numbers of how many black people are refusing the clot shot.
