1. Not When There Is Go Fund Me

There are an endless amount of wingers who will gladly give money when some unvaxxed Asshole dies from Covid.

2. ...

10. Hah! Perfect!

"Sorry, I couldn't make thoughts OR prayers out of concrete so I made this!"

3. So is losing breadwinners

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Say that to any Anti-Science Boat Anchors you meet. Add "Child funerals aren't any cheaper." . . .nt

5. The cost of medical care during and after is astronomical. ICU care isn't cheap either.

The burden on your sad surviving family will be onerous.

The same class of redneck ignorant assholes who used to sneer at hippies and tell us "get a job" now cannot get a clue or a cure. The kicker is WE will be the ones to pay the bills they leave behind, the price of rebuilding medical services, and the ongoing costs of extended care for the many Long-COVID survivors who were too distracted by all the RW hype to bother with doing the responsible thing.

7. Hospitalization is expensive as hell

and COVID patients take up resources needed by all the other health issues that didn't stop just because we're in a pandemic.

A patient's family is going to be stuck with a pricey bill whether they get better or die. Just take the free vaccine.

8. I thought the government was paying? Wasn't there a Katie Porter clip

if her 'quizzing' a Trump official about whether hospitalizations would be free? Or was that Kamala Harris?

11. Maybe it only needs to be free for the vaccinated at this point.

Plus those with a legitimate medical excuse.

Everyone else pays retail.

13. That was temporary COVID relief

the government programs and grace period for that has ended. It's up to insurers and copay from patients, as many conservatives are learning the hard way healthcare is better off without a bill.

It would be a serious silver lining on this pandemic cloud if we end up with single payer because of this experience.

14. It was the testing that was free. I was wrong, sorry.

15. Update on who was paying for hospital stays for Covid patients:

17. It varies by health plans and geography

Not a good time to be hospitalized with COVID anywhere but it's way worse in red states.

[Evolve Dammit]

9. They just don't care. At all. There is no rational thought and it ain't coming. Period.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Yeah but it's like a lottery ticket

If your relatives all croak, it's all yours.

Which should worry us - Reds may be reduced in numbers but they can put inheritance cash to work in political donations.
