22. Remember Republicans when the ACA was being debated?

I remember a lot of them saying "I don't want to pay for your bad life choices."

Meaning, they thought when millions of people who had medical problems caused by their "bad life choices" got insurance, their rates were going to go up.

Look at where we are now. The situation is exactly reversed & it's going to be US who have to pay for THEIR "bad life choices" (their choice to not get vaccinated).

My understanding, because vaccine is considered experimental, they can't make it mandatory. LisaL Apr 2021 #7

They are still classified as experimental until they get their final FDA approval womanofthehills Apr 2021 #41
