When the system collapses under the weight of freebies, nobody will get it whether they want it or not.
It’s a well known fact that the most dangerous place in America is between Upchuck Schumer and a TV camera.
Head on down to the clinic for a measles shot...and get the flu.
I was thinking we should make the people bringing it into the country LESS accessible. Like maybe keep them in Mexico....
Being a despicable hypocrite would be an improvement for Chuckie.
A LOB TIME AGO,...When I was first in in school, Mom went with me to register for the first day of school. She had show my shot record and that it was current. If a shot was in need of an update or missing the school nurse gave me it.
There was no opting out of the shots, show them or no school.
They were paid for out of shool funds.
BTW I first went to shool in 1954.
I thought 0bamaCare solved all health care access problems? /s lol
just one vote here but I would not object at all to providing free vaccinations for communicable diseases for anyone who cannot afford the shots and is willing to get them
this is low cost
and
this is something that benefits us all
(communicable diseases are communicable...you never know when or where you’ll catch them....)
best,
It’s already free for the Medicaid crowd. The rest of us are required to have insurance, so what’s the deal Chuck?
“”this highly contagious disease before it becomes too big for us to control””
That already exists - it’s called CONGRESS!
I believe any one can get children’s immunizations free at a clinic in your area already.
I think that is actually a pretty good idea; measles is a terrible disease and it would be a shame for a child to come down with it and infect other children because his parents could not afford to pay for vaccinations. There are a few things that it makes sense for the taxpayers to pay for, and I think vaccinations for deadly childhood diseases is one of them.
The saddest part is how quickly some FReepers go full socialist “for our own good”. They don’t ask how much it will cost, how effective it is or if there is any need for more taxpayer funding.
Lower income children have been covered by SCHIP insurance for years. The article does not say so, but I suspect that Schumer is talking about extending medical coverage to illegals.
Of course this has nothing to do with the hordes of illegal aliens that Schumer supports letting in.
...make measles shots free and widely available, like the flu vaccine.

What planet does Chuckie live on? Flu shots are NOT free!
I got the shot at an Albertson’s grocery in Oct. They prepared a mix for senior citizens. I paid nothing.
However, I just received the statement from Medicare that shows they paid over $55 for that shot, though they were billed $65 by the pharmacy.
I pay over $1200 a year for Medicare A/B, which I’ve had for 7 1/2 years. The TOTAL paid by Medicare during that time is around $300. ...300/9000= .033% of my premiums paid.
Chuck run this by shelly silver
