| Description | Coronavirus patients who end up hospitalized — the vast majority of whom are unvaccinated — are increasingly likely to be on the hook for their medical bills, according to a new KFF analysis.
Where it stands: Early in the pandemic, most insurers waived out-of-pocket costs for coronavirus hospitalizations.
But with vaccines readily available, many patients are once again on the hook for deductibles and co-pays, which could make remaining unvaccinated a lot more expensive. |

I'm sure someone will say this is just anecdotal.

Anectodal is when you site a doctor or a handful of hospitals in a few areas. This here, is not anecdotal.

On another note I can’t possibly imagine being in the mindset to not get vaccinated. I understand feeling uncomfortable but c’mon this is another example that doing something so simple and easy can make a difference in your life even financially. Thankfully most of the elderly people in my life are vaccinated, but once again there will always be stubborn folks.
