    If you have cancer, your hospital bill is your deductible and copays. You get a bill from your hospital for your copays and/or deductible. You also receive a similar hospital bill if you had Covid and you were not vaccinated. Most insurance companies cover this hospital bill if you are. So you don't receive a hospital bill (or receive one for $0, I guess)

    Not sure what part you are not understanding.

    What it shows is the absurd levels the left will go to deny science. You won't even listen to the CDC.

    I figured I would use this thread to share a similar story. Early on in the pandemic a friend of the family passed from complications due to covid. He had heart disease and in the end his heart gave out while on a ventilator. As time went on, I would hear more stories about people passing, but nobody I had actually met. Three weeks ago that changed. One of my wife's cousins died, she was in her early 40s with no underlying issues, at least diagnosed. This came as a big surprise to us, but we were not in contact all that much, so not too close to home. However last weekend someone I work with passed. This was a person I talked to every day, his office was right next to my cubicle. I walk out of my cubicle and walk 10 feet and I would be in front of his office. I would say he was late 40s, early 50s and not vaccinated. My boss and him used to get into conversations about once a week about how covid was blown way out of proportion and how the vaccines were "clot" shots. They referred to covid as the "wu flu" and said it was no worse than the flu.

    Here's the thing. I know people die each year because of the flu, but I only know that because there are stats for it. I have never met anyone or heard anyone I know talk about somebody who died from the flu. Not a single person. Now I personally know 3 people who have died from covid or covid related complications, and have heard about at least a handful more.

    I'm not really trying to tell anyone what to think here, but I do encourage people to maybe be just a bit more mindful. Don't assume that this will not affect you.

    Oh Dear God... whatever you say... but please don't use the word "science". You have no clue what it means.

    The CDC has NEVER said that anybody has died as a result of the vaccine, like you did. So that won't help you get out of the argumentative hole you got yourself into.

    LOL. Well, we've not only got WHO saying not to do booster shots, along with many medical experts, and yet Biden has chosen not to follow the science. What does science mean to you? Are you willing to call out Biden for not following the science?

    All those bills should be forwarded directly to Ron DeSantis

    After that we should foreclose on their homes and throw them into the street. This is the new compassionate conservativism. We can't let these deadbeats get away just because they listened to us and died as a result. Next you'll be acting as if it's our fault when we rape some girl who has the nerve to have such big tits.

    You mooching socialists are all the same, always wanting freebies just because you're dead.

    I read this and laughed a bit because I know you're intentionally being outrageous.

    However, when I read it a second time, my reaction became somber. This is exactly what they want to do. I never thought there could ever come a time that I'm truly ashamed of my fellow Americans. It's heart-breaking.

    Don't back pedal now. That's not what you said and you know it. I have coverage even when I pay my deductible. Stop pretending you didn't try to add to the dramatics of this.

    This is odd.

    I have no idea what it is you are trying to say. So I'll just repeat what I said: insurance companies won't cover your hospital bills if you are not vaccinated. In other words, they are not covering your copayments or deductible. So, if you die, the hospital will send your family the bill for copayments and deductible. a.k.a. "hospital bill". Therefore you are leaving them stuck with hospital bills.

    What exactly is your question? Or did you just have some sort of mental lapse in which you misread something. But now that you realized your mistake you think that doubling down on some imaginary "contradiction" will help you save face?

    THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAID! Stop with the goal post moving. The unvaccinated patients will still have coverage from their health insurance companies. Saying someone will be responsible for their deductible is not the same as not having coverage.

    Now I question every post you've made. It's obvious you don't mind twisting and telling half truths to suit an agenda.

    It's cute the way he states as fact things that he could not possibly know (insurance companies won't cover your hospital bills ). The bottom line is that insurance companies sell all kinds of products and there are no general rules that would hold true between them all. In other words, golem is talking out of his ass. Color me shocked.

    Out here in the country covid is so rare I don't know a single person who has even been infected with it. Fingers are crossed.

    That is EXACTLY what I said. As a matter of fact, I did a copy-paste from the OP

    This is insane! Thank you for wasting my time....

    I see you enjoy doubling down on your own stupidity. You've been telling some tall tales here lately and refuse to accept it when you're called out. Many of us know BS when we see it.

    You're most likely a liar, your credibility is nil. I suppose we should feel sorry for you.
