I think that we are very close to some form of either economic cost-sharing (making unvaxxed people pay out of pocket for those loooong ICU stays) or flat out restrictions (hospitals refusing to admit unvaxxed). Anything else and the entire system is going to collapse, and America is not going to be willing to lose its entire healthcare system. Also in the background is that a lot of healthcare is run by businessmen, and they are already searching out options to get while the getting is good; If we aren't careful we will see a slew of bankruptcy/closeouts that will leave us holding the bag while these companies fold up their tent and move over into other industries.

Goofing... but in this over-saturated PC world we've been newly introduced to, where we can't even call people by their birth-pronouns, we still use the terms "Businessmen" and "Gunman" in semi-derogatory temperament.
Just sayin'
