Illinois Representative Jonathan Carroll wants to push through a change to the state’s insurance law that would mean health insurers no longer have to cover unvaccinated people who get Covid, forcing people to pay their medical bills out of pocket.
The Democrat lawmaker told the Chicago Sun-Times:
I think it’s time that we say ‘You choose not to get vaccinated, then you’re also going to assume the risk that if you do catch COVID, and you get sick, the responsibility is on you,’”
The potential corruption and abuse of such a rule should be obvious to anyone familiar with just how mendacious insurance companies can be.
In all likelihood insurance companies will simply demand a negative Covid test before paying anything, and if you test positive, no matter what you were treated for, you will be called a “covid case” and forced to pay out of pocket.
The bill could, essentially, wipe all health insurance off the books for unvaccinated people.
The vaccinated should take no comfort from this, because their vaccinated status is entirely temporary, and subject to rules that could change on a whim.
Any “double jabbed” who misses a booster, or got a brand of vaccine that was subsequently unapproved or discontinued, or wasn’t updated for the latest variant, could suddenly find themselves one of the “unvaccinated” underclass.
Of course, once it applies to vaccination status it can apply to other things. You travelled to the wrong place, or you didn’t wear a mask, you “associated with known anti-vaxxers”.
And, even more concerning, is the potentially slippery slope this starts us down. Unvaccinated don’t get health insurance. Neither do smokers who get lung cancer. Or overweight people who get diabetes. And so on and so on.
The potential good news is that putting this law on the books would require a lot of legal workarounds, including violating or changing the Affordable Care Act, which outlaws removing insurance coverage from someone based on a new medical diagnosis or test result.
The editorial board of the Chicago Sun-Times already came out against the move, calling it unfair, warning of the same slippery slope I mentioned above, whilst at the same time arguing “the willfully unvaccinated should pay a price”, and be charged more for their insurance.
Given that response, it’s possible Mr Carroll’s role here is to set out an unacceptably extreme position, so the intended plan of higher insurance premiums for unvaccinated people seems more reasonable by comparison.
But, whether genuine or not, and whether it comes to fruition or not, the very fact the suggestion was made is a damning condemnation of the times. It would be a truly terrible precedent to set.
Once you start putting stipulations on healthcare, you don’t stop.
Kinda blows healthcare is a ‘right.’
Does this include a certain demographic that get medicaid?
Less than a decade ago the Democrat message was ‘let’s make sure everyone can get health care... regardless of any pre-existing conditions’.
Now it’s ‘we will strip away health care because you failed to comply with our mandate on this very narrow-defined/singular action.’
(But smokers? Drug abuser? Any risky sexual behavior? Y’all come on in to the clinic!)
They are nothing but Monsters, IMO. I really can’t say what I’d do if I ever came face to face with one of them like him, but it wouldn’t be nice.
And the POS pushing this outrageous Bill has Cadillac premium insurance fully paid for by taxpayers, including unvaxxed taxpayers 😡. Criminal.
How much in kickbacks is this azzhole getting from Big Pharma?
Are you a conservative? NO COVERAGE
Yeah...that little girl looks real comfortable sitting in the lap of that pervert....
health insurers no longer have to cover unvaccinated people who get Covid, forcing people to pay their medical bills out of pocket.
Easy Peasy.....If you have to pay COVID related bills out of pocket, then get in touch with a doctor(there are many) that will prescribe you Ivermectin/Doxycycline/Zinc and have at it. If you even need it. Unfortunately, it’s not quite as cheap over here as it is in India. A whopping $2.95 for the ZIVERDO pack.
Is if for everyone? Nope. Is it for most? I’m betting yes.
They can’t have more or less eradicated the virus in India’s most populated state without it, I’m thinking.

“They have exposed their evil souls and they will never be able to hide that again”
I attribute that to POTUS Trump in large part by the way
You said:
Y’know, if paying for their own treatment allowed them to choose Ivermectin, HCQ, and/or Monoclonal Antibodies (MAB) for treatment, it might not be a completely bad thing.
I AGREE!
Let’s just call them evil minions of satan. We are witnessing a precursor to the Tribulation with a capital T. The Book of Revelation spells it all out. And many could care less. They will probably take the mark without question just like they took the jab.
He really wants to kill the unvaxxed, but is afraid to say what he thinks.
McHenry County democrat wants this for the entire state.

GOOD POINT
His bald head should be used for bowling.
All these diseases take time to take you out of this world. The jab will get you pretty quickly with its side effects if you have any. That being said no one really knows the long term side effects of the jab in two-three-four years.
If the jab ends up destroying the immune systems of the science death cult they really are going to see the death they feared. If you can take out a third of the US population in five years why you have made the US government very happy along with the elites. That is people that doesn’t need medical treatment, social security dollars or food and resources.
The vaccine product for covid 19 has a portion of it being tested as a Human Roundup. A systemic humancide. IMHO.
If you look at his picture, he is FAT. I think he should not be allowed to use his insurance for any condition that could be traced back to OBESITY.
