Trump doesn’t know this, but the coronavirus vaccine would be free under a provision in the Affordable Care Act.

According to Business Insider:

A little-known provision of Obamacare would likely make any coronavirus vaccine free for most people with health insurance. Plus, the law expanded insurance coverage for roughly 20 million Americans and widened access to medical care. Those components underscore the law’s broad reach across the healthcare sector and its potential to form a pillar in a federal strategy to combat the spread of a deadly, unknown disease.

“There’s an important link between broader healthcare policies like the Affordable Care Act and responding to a potential public health emergency like this virus,” Larry Levitt, the executive vice president for health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told Business Insider.

Obama was a change president, who has left a lasting legacy of improving the lives of millions of Americans. Trump has tried to undo the Obama legacy. In fact, the entire purpose of his administration is to erase the Obama presidency.

1. There is no vaccine for the corona virus.

Nor will there be for more than a year, probably.

So, there ya go.

2. But Azar was saying the government would not mandate the corporations

that produce the vaccine to offer it at a reduced cost across the country. I think that is the point. For when it becomes available in 12 to 18 months.

3. With the worry of this virus bearing down on us...

This is one of those things where I’ll follow the Scarlett O’Hara example - and I’ll worry about that tomorrow.

4. I hated Scarlett. Good that this is coming out now. Will make Trump look murderous

if he decides to be murderous and not mandate an affordable vaccine when it becomes available.
