ABC News Panelist: Make Vaccination Required for Government Health Care (VA)

ABC News panelist Margaret Hoover said on This Week with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that the government should require patients receiving public health care — including Veterans Affairs care — to be vaccinated for coronavirus.

Hoover, who hosts the Firing Line on PBS, used that example to show how the government should make life “almost impossible” for the unvaccinated:

If you are going to get government-provided health care, if you’re getting VA treatment, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, anything, and Social Security, obviously, isn’t health care, you should be getting the vaccine, OK, because you’re going to have to — we’re — we are going to have to take care of you on the backend. So there are a lot of things we can do without calling it a mandate but to just make it almost impossible for people to — to live their lives without being protected and protecting the rest of us.

Last I heard, that demo is less than 20% vaxxed. Probably NOT because they can’t figure out how to make an appointment or find transportation.

If you like your Government Health Care you can keep your government health care.

I’m sure that’s what they want, because if you’re unvaxxed, you’re likely to live longer and cost them more money.

The sooner they get rid of you, the less it’s going to cost them.

These people are insane.

Except, not going on Medicare is not an option when you hit 65.

I was forced onto it and I hate it. Our private insurance was far better, but that ended when I hit 65 and I had no choice. Not to mention the government threatens you with all kinds of stuff if you don’t sign up for Medicare.

Maybe I should self-identify as an illegal immigrant.

“If you are going to get government-provided health care, if you’re getting VA treatment, Medicare...”

Medicare is not government-provided health care. It is paid for by the employee all through his/her working life.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Well veteran drug addicts, and alcoholics are treated at the VA...Nobody penalizes them for doing drugs or drinking to excess...

Obese veterans are treated for diabetes and heart problems...Nobody makes them exercise, lose weight and stop eating ...

And of course if that doesn’t works there’s always the mental hospitals, the re-education camps and finally the firing squads.

My former employer dumped me when I hit 65. To keep Mrs rktman on would have cost $1,200+/month three years ago. Probably over fifteen hundred a month by now.

This is precisely why they want government healthcare for all.

Why would they give Vets the jab. You have to beg for everything you get from the VA

I have never seen more racism in my entire life until I went to the VA. If you are white you don’t get taken care of.

Looks like in some instances it was easier to give them an early release.

Some folks can’t afford to bail.

I agree. It's a personal choice. I do not advocate it for anybody.
