really!!
I saw a Kaiser Family Foundation report today. In June and July the unvaccinated cost the US Health System 2.3 billion. That’s $20,000 per unvaccinated head. We are a very benevolent country in terms of benefits and we talk about stamping out food stamps. LOL.

I wasn’t aware that the US was providing free healthcare to COVID patients. Here I thought it was the patient’s insurance paying for their own care.

Well of course nothing is free. Most hospitalizations are Medicare and Medicaid so you are funding it one way or another or it gets added to the debt. All anethemas to GOP tax and debt platforms.

So the majority of the hospitalizations are elderly, and they are using the system that they and their families have paid into every single week for their entire working lives. Got it.

So let’s just blow it on 20k hospitalizations? I think I must be misunderstanding you.

I think you misunderstand a whole hell of a lot. “Let’s blow it” are you bitching about money spent on hospitalizations of smokers? Accident victims that weren’t wearing their seatbelts? How about all the billions spent thanks to COPD because people are too fat?

There is a vaccine. It costs nothing. You say in the name of liberty a person has a right to 20k hospitalization cost. Ok. How does that square with your GOP proclivities of not wanting higher taxes to fund that incremental expense or do you just want to add to our debt. It’s a simple math exercise. New expenses, how do they get paid? You say the money is already there, but it isn’t it’s EXTRA expense.

It is covered by insurance. The insurers have it all figured out.

Critical nursing shortages around the country. Very pronounced in Texas and Florida.
Many reasons but treating avoidable deaths and serious issues has lead to serious burnout.

Well holy crap! Let’s offer free tickets to a Garth Brooks concert and hide vaccine needles in the seats! That should take care of the problem.

Beancounters. And the government.
That's the problem with the current nursing (and it's actually ICU nurses, for the most part) shortage.

Turns out you are on to something. Here is Delta’s approach:

Wife's podiatrist has a different approach...Get vaccinated and get COVID, he'll pay up to 30 days of salary while you're out sick. Do not get vaccinated and get COVID, no salary while you're out.

My company thought outside the box and told everybody that if they don't provide proof of vaccination, they're fired without severance nor ability to file for unemployment.
