Taxpayer's paying for the preventable 💀

[daydreonmckinney]

I don't understand how people in my state ( Idaho ) can think it's ok to overburden Washingtons hospitols. That's not ok on my conscience.

Governments/citizens chose to not be vaccinated for COVID. Why should my taxes pay for this? Why should other hospitals get COVID patient's dumped on them?

The U. S. Military National Guard should have been activated months ago for Mandatory Vaccination Programs.
Like you Know, , , , dude, , , , ummmm it’s called a Pandemic of Global Proportions.
The USAF the most functional & mobile branch of service.
But I’m only slightly prejudiced.

On a lighter you guys look like you could be brother and sister!😁

[lindaarnold]

Training is an unnecessary cost for taxpayers. Unvaccinated COVID patient's need to get "comfort care" in tents. Leave hospital beds/ card for deserving pstients.

OK, Maybe Not CCU Level, But We Have Many Military Medical Units That Could Be Mobilized To Handle Regular/Overflow Cases
Remember After Hurricane Katrina ?? A Navy Assault Ship Showed Up With Its Treatment Clinic & Operating Rooms Included
We Have More Of Those People, And Units That Look Just Like "M.A.S.H." On TV ( except the troops ain't actor pretty)
