This is awful. Why thanks to the government? Obamacare? VA?
You need a physician...... where are you located?
Obamacare. I had great insurance at work. In 2011, the federal government came in and started dictating the coverage they had to offer. It became cost-prohibitive for the company to continue the excellent coverage they had while at the same time providing all the additional requirements the federal government imposed upon them. So they cut coverage and switched companies. The new company had a smaller network. It did not include my physician. (He was forced into early retirement shortly after due to his own set of new federal regulations). The physicians in the new network were either no longer taking patients or were located so far away that it was not practical to use them.
During the next several years, I saw my premiums continue to rise and my deductibles to rise even higher. Eventually, I went for an HSA and super-high deductible because I was tired of subsidizing the adult children of my co-workers and their pre-existing conditions, not to mention the higher cost of everything because people with no money were now getting federal dollars coming from my taxes to compete against me for medical care.
This past year, my company switched coverage again to an even worse company. Effectively, I have no insurance. My deductible is over $12,000. All of my medical costs come out of pocket. Yet I am still required by law to carry medical insurance on myself and my family. And on top of that, the threshold for deducting medical expenses was increased by 33%, again thanks to the federal government.
I am grateful to Almighty G-d for good health. He alone is my fortress, my healer. And He is not telling me to get the vaccine.
It cannot be emphasized enough that anything the government gets involved with, it ruins. And the battle against this virus is no exception. It is the government that has rejected and in some cases outlaw low-cost methods that have been proven to save lives. It is the government that has lied again and again about this virus. It is the government that funded this lab in the first place. And it is the government that insists that getting this vaccine will not change a thing about our current nazi usurpation of our basic freedoms.
If for your vaccine to work requires that I get vaccinated, then your vaccine doesn't work. And it doesn't take a personal physician to figure that one out.
