That is at least 40% of the population.

Women carry at least 10% more body fat due to our hormonal and physical makeup.

Through my late husband's Military Service that he earned for 22 total years of service in the US Air Force in the 1960's and an additional 18 years with the MN Army and Air National Guard from 1981 to the end of 1999.

While I may be one of the few fortunate ones, I realize others will not be.

I doubt they would have a fee for administering it.

Walgreens etc. are going to charge for that, they aren't going to eat the cost because they are not a charity. I've also seen this in articles I've read, it's not something I made up.

My point is if these corporations charge an admin fee people should use their local health departments. That is what they are there for. People are living on tighter and tighter budgets.

They do not have infinite budgets. Anyway, just another hoop for regular people to jump through, not good.

I would be interested to read it. I don’t find it to be the case and have used the system over my lifetime.

There's a sliding fee that begins at 100% of federal poverty guidelines and ends at 200% of FPG.

It would be nice if medical care was free for everyone, then we wouldn't need the ACA or Medicare or Medicaid or any of that. As the righties keep saying, one can just show up in an emergency room where they have to treat everyone. Trouble is, they do enough to stabilize you and then you're back on the street.

As for my friend (whose income was very much on the low side), she found they didn't provide some services she needed, but fortunately managed to get on Medicaid.

is having as many people as possible in the population immune to the disease. And there are usually two ways to be immune, having had the disease and being vaccinated.
So having fewer people vaccinated means that everyone in the population has a higher risk to get the disease.
Even people doing everything that they can to stay safe, including getting vaccinated, are at higher risk because the level of vaccinated in society is less.
Still, those who are vaccinated have lowered their own risk of serious complications.

...that COVID vaccines don't stop transmission, rather they mitigate the effects, which is of course very important.

You know, for the next one.

Covid was not out yet.

Chump and brain worm will work to kill it.

They have shown that perfectly good food and medical supplies can be destroyed.

Et Tu Covid mRNA vaccine?

What's a "high risk" group defined as... the high risk for companies of covering people who are at high risk of dying? The old, the poor, the sickly, the isolated?

From no public bathrooms to no public health, all of this is exactly how privatization works.

to have their customers vaccinated. It is estimated that, now that the research is largely done, COVID vaccinations a about $3 each. Figure another $27 for distribution and administration costs, and a $30 payment by the insurance companies would probably be about right.

And if they don't cover the vaccination, then the result might be $250 for a clinic visit plus antibiotics. Or if the customer is hospitalized, now we're talking a cost to the insurance company of $2500 to $250,000, all of which could be avoided by that $30 ounce of prevention.

So let's hope the insurance companies are at least halfway smart.

I talked to the pharmacist about it the other day.

He said September is a good time to do this.
