I had a blind college professor named Daniel Sisler. On the first day of class, Dr. Sisler gave a ten-minute intro about his unusual life. He had been a linebacker at Purdue. No Purdue Football jokes, please; Purdue used to excel in football and Sisler was fully-sighted while there. He lost his vision, post-college, in a military explosion.
This is how I feel. I would gladly sign a waiver that I will not go to a hospital for any viral illness. I have dealt enough with incompetent hospital staff, had nurses yell at me they my child was unable to wake up because he was being a brat and not because he needed fluids as I was demanding (tests proved me right and the nurse wrong) and three family members over my lifetime killed by medical mistakes so yeah, I'm happy to decline any medical care from these facilities and will call my functional medicine doctor instead.
Love Prof. Sisler's sense of humor; love your reference. Absolutely agree about medical insurance. However, as brave Djokovic is making quite clear to the world, these offensives have nothing to do with concern about a deadly disease and everything to do with punishing the non-compliant.
At this point, I want to say I don't consider being refused medical treatment to be a punishment, except-- sometimes it is. And yet (as when I began comparing public school districts for my children) there's not a single hospital I've found that I would willingly provide money to or choose to use. Not because I am anti-medicine or anti-doctors (or anti-education), but because I have so little say in what is happening there, and there is so much I have to say about it.
Demagoguery indeed. Forget Stephen Colbert, how about the lead counsel for OSHA? The ultimate Karen. As she "answers" questions by the various Justices she spouts disproven after disproven assertion about the efficacy and safety of the vaccines. Including but not at all limited to the notion that unvaxxed are a "danger" in the workplace. (forget that vaxxed have higher viral loads). She is propagandizing to sitting Supreme Court Justices. As if no one is following the data. OSHA and Pfizer et al are relying on lying and the ignorance of the targets of the lies to advance their money and power agendas. God help us.
A friend in Austin, TX, double vaxxed so she could keep her job, broke her hand a few months ago. She went to the emergency room to get it set and forgot her vax card. Even tho she's a nurse they refused to treat her w/out proof so she had to get a Moderna jab that made her very sick.
Sotomayor only brought to mind how I thought she belongs on the view instead of the SC. Sure enough, those squawking magpies rejected the facts and went with the wise Latino narrative.
We already see healthcare being denied to the unvaxxed. People have been removed from organ waiting lists and surgeries. I recall the story of one such man being forced to vax for his transplant but died from the shot just prior. I’m so distrustful of hospitals now, I would rather take my chances on dying at home. They have admitted the shots don’t stop infection. When will the emperor’s butt freeze off?
It seems that it would be lawful for insurers to distinguish between vxxd and unvxxd. I'd expect unvxxd to have lower cost of claims and so they should, if the market is at all competitive, receive lower rates.
EU Parliament President has died in an Italian hospital where he had been treated since late December, his spokesman said. The official was suffering from a “serious complication” resulting from an immune system condition.
An Italian social democrat, Sassoli was hospitalized on December 26 due to serious immune system dysfunction, his office said, noting that he had ceased all “official activities” as the head of the EU Parliament during that time. The announcement came after Sassoli was treated for pneumonia at a hospital in Strasbourg, France last September. Though at the time his staff said he was in “good condition” and that he had tested negative for Covid-19, the illness nonetheless left him unable to work for some two months. Spokesman Roberto Cuillo declined to share additional details on Sassoli’s health earlier on Monday, though he did state the official would be unable to attend a plenary parliamentary session set for Strasbourg next week.
The unaffordable care act, the pandemic response - its all designed for one purpose - to take decisions out of the hands of the individual and give them to the government. The ACA is the whole reason why we were so unprepared for this pandemic. By letting the people pick and choose their healthcare plans and their physicians and hospitals - the spending in healthcare would be dramatically reduced.
Thank you for your always clear, direct and concise accounting of the darkness that surrounds us. What a remarkable man, Prof Sisler. It is so uplifting to hear about people like him who saw the light.
The danger is - who makes such decisions, based on what criteria and with what authority to deny some individuals medical care, and what are the limits and safeguards to ensure once it is accepted that individuals can legally be denied care for failure to comply with one thing, more required things are not added to the list over time?
Once any State enforceable practice becomes established, it cannot be assumed in future only benevolent people will be in a position to use it for only the ‘right’ reasons, or to placate the mob. Power once taken, WILL be used.

Couldn’t agree more Mark…give me my premiums back! I’ll shop around and do just fine.
Unfortunately you are dreaming with the last paragraph. Blaring propaganda seems to escalate year by year to dystopian levels. CNN… (Ugh, I’d rather read Pravda) will of course remain on with effectively nil ratings but they can always count on a sedentary “wise Latina” in their audience.
My sister lives in the Bay Area with her family and her husband’s extended family. The family has been in CA for several generations.
Right now in CA they are looking at moving to single payer healthcare in the state. The Dems have a super-super majority, so there’s really no accountability or pushback that could stop them.
If the state moves forward, the cost of SPHC would push the state income tax to 18%! And there’s a strong possibility, if passed, that medical care will be denied to the unvaccinated. My sister’s husband and his brothers are meeting in the next couple weeks to come up with a contingency plan to flee CA if that becomes reality. The family has a lot of real estate there, handed down over generations, and deep roots in the area … it would be devastating to leave everything behind, but it’s looking more and more like it’s only a matter of time.
The perspective of such people is neither technical or nuanced. Let me translate into plain English:
"I want a culturally- and state- sanctioned way to kill the people I hate."
That's it. That's all this is. This is apes wanting to crush other apes' skulls with rocks except rocks are declasse this millennium.
These are people who hate you and want you dead. It's a story as old as time. Stop wasting time figuring out why. Just know the apes who want you dead, and figure out how to kill them first or get out of their reach.
I have a very dear friend who, in our entire decades-long acquaintance, I have only heard say bad words about one person (a truly evil real estate agent).
So I was shocked when, during a phone conversation recently, he said for all he cares, the unvaccinated could be refused any sort of medical treatment and they can all just die.
Society has sunk to a really deplorable state when a normally kind person could say such a thing.
There is at least part that doesn't have to be a fantasy.
The direct payment model is growing. I found there are a lot more cash-friendly doctors than I expected. The AAPS has a search (https://aapsonline.org/direct-payment-cash-friendly-practices/), and there are others. I found clinics near near me complete with pharmacy at wholesale price. Surgical centers and more are increasingly available. Overall, I expect switching to this and a very high deductible disaster plan will cut my routine cost by a third or more. And, that's with a chronic illness requiring fairly expensive medications. Someone without an existing condition would come out even further ahead. Bonus: I get to make decisions without interference and I'm not tied to my employer's coverage or that garbage COBRA.
The establishment AMA model is a payment plan with an enormous surcharge, not insurance. It is another part of the WEF "you will own nothing" system. The good news is we have much more choice than they lead us to believe.

If I were an insurance company, I would know the truth....
That the vaccinated will become a drain on the system, because pharma doesn't pay for their destruction.
And that the first waves were not deadly, before the vaccine, cv death average age was around life expectancy..
The virus? Well who knows,
But the shots? Definitely costly to medical insurance...

Don't overcomplicate this. (Awesome article, though.)
