RE: Why are 1,500 Americans still dying from COVID every week? - Dec28 Feb 2024 12:01
If you don't have health insurance in America you need to access the 'Bridge Access Program' to get the vaccine for free. Importantly - that programme will end on December 31, 2024, so any governmental aid is essentially temporary.
The Biden Administration has not guaranteed to extend it beyond that date, and if the fake-tanned one somehow wrangles his way out of 96 endictments and back into the Oval office, then you can probably say, with a fair amount of certainty, that a 2nd Trump Administration won't spend a dime on anything remotely in the interests of public health. So this time next year, those 25-30 million uninsured could be looking at $100+ for vaccine, then there's the follow-up boosters necessitated because of variant changes, etc. Unless you think Covid is going o magically disappear as the orange one does, that cost is going to be hanging over them until the day they die, and for a family that cost is not negligible.
