Illinois Democrat files measure to punish unvaccinated for 'clogging up health care system'

An Illinois Democrat who claims the unvaccinated are "clogging up the health care system" has proposed a bill that would force them to pay all of their medical expenses out of pocket if they become hospitalized with the coronavirus.

The measure, set forth by State Rep. Jonathan Carroll, comes alongside news that the average coronavirus hospitalization cost is now $24,033, according to data from the government-run Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services.

"The vaccine is proven to be the one thing that is stopping the severity of COVID-19, and we are seeing more variants popping up," Carroll told WCIA. "The experts are telling us, ‘This is now becoming a disease of the unvaccinated.’ The people that are choosing to get vaccinated are not the ones that are clogging up the health care system, it’s the ones that aren’t."

Ah, but if the ‘cloggers’ are on Medicaid; will they have to pay out-of-pocket too? I didn’t think so.

Punish black and hispanic people?

Maybe this clown will admit it—Eugenics is what they really want.

" . . . comes alongside news that the average coronavirus hospitalization cost is now $24,033"

Probably way higher. I know a guy whose bill for a single session of chemo is $70,000. I've heard of people charged $15,000 for a ten-hour ER stay. If someone is in the hospital for ten days or more with COvid-19 or anything else, the bill is probably well over $100,000

Yep, if you apply his mentality consistently, probably 60% of all patients would have to pay their full bill: the overweight, drinkers, drug users, gang-bangers, the sexually reckless, etc.

Notice how they don’t care about the drug addicts or mentally ill or homeless who refuse to get help and clog up ERs

Yeah, I don't see how this dipchit state representative is going to stop a federal insurance program.
He himself says that he expects a lot of backlash.
But I don't think that he expects what he's going to see.

When I read “clogging up the health care system,” I immediately think of the UK’s NHS, the model for obamacare.

Let’s punish the ruling class and ALL Democrats. That will certainly solve all of our problems

lots of fun here.

How many medical issues are there that should be on the list of self-inflicted?

Drug abusers, overweight, measles, mumps, STDs, AIDS, smoking caused

And the experimental gene therapy is documented as not preventing infection, not preventing transmission, not preventing hospitalization, not preventing death. But is it documented to have some nasty side effects some of which are not yet known, in all likelihood.

Perhaps he should go to the southern boarder.
Ask for vaccine passports before Biden transports them into his state.

This is certainly coming. Be prepared to provide for your own healthcare. Especially if you are a Republican, conservative, or libertarian. Actually, anything except Marxist.

Remember. These are the people that claim they’re for universal healthcare. This is what their “universal healthcare” looks like.
