All the news today is about the debate over vaccines. While I strongly support an individual’s right to make decisions in life, including refusing to get the COVID-19 shot, my question is how many of the unvaccinated who end up hospitalized and fighting for their lives have health insurance? Are the rest of us who protect ourselves and others by getting inoculated left paying the horrendous medical bills for these individuals to exercise their free will?
