It's reportedly costing billions of dollars to treat hospitalized unvaccinated COVID patients

2. Not Surprising

I’ve been wondering what this is costing. But the inpatient costs have to be a whole lot higher than 20k per patient. I’ve had outpatient surgery that cost more than that. I’d love to stick the unvaccinated with the costs of their care, but we’d probably spend at least as much trying to collect it. At a minimum, the states should be stuck with the bill, not the Federal Government, especially since so many state governors are actively discouraging masks and vaccines.
