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"

Not universally true. My wife spent 15 days in ICU at our state’s best teaching hospital, fighting COVID. 12 of those days, she was on a ventilator. God heard our prayers— she has almost fully recovered, and is back to work. The hospital, and the ventilator, is not a universal death sentence.
They didn’t get their 4th booster.... UNVACCINATED!
I hope they enjoy their yearly booster shots, until the shots eventually kill them.

I am very concerned that the vaccination records might be as well guarded as the voting records in the recent California recall election, where people who hadn’t voted yet were told that they had already voted, particularly if they were likely to vote Republican.
