Ironic advice for folks getting fired for failing to vax.

When they lose their health coverage, they have three options
1. Stay on spouses coverage
2. Cobra, and......
3. OBAMACARE!

You're welcome.

They are entitled to free health care if they have COVID so why should they vaccinate?

If they contract covid while still on the employers plan or Cobra, they may have to pick up the deductibles and copays. Then there are the aftercare costs of treating long covid, disability etc.

If they are completely uninsured, they may be in better shape. But I suspect it varies by state, especially for the after care costs.
