Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDo you think that people who go to Trump rallies (or other events) should pay extra for healthcare?
If they are going to stadiums, not social distancing, not wearing masks and doing a lot of screaming, they put us all at risk. They are a threat to us all and a drain to our healthcare system.
Should insurance companies and/or Medicare/Medicaid charge them extra for Covid-related healthcare services?

Now, I think both arguments are fairly silly, but it should highlight how we need to be careful with our rhetoric because in a lot of instances, it is not a heavy lift to flip it right back in our faces.

(11,802 posts)...I said the argument that they should pay for healthcare for having attended a MAGA rally is silly because it can be turned right back in our faces.

We pay in lives and taxes to satisfy Trump's vanity. That is quite different to protesters.

Would that mean they would have to pay more for their underage children's health care who had nothing to do with the rally?
