Subsidizing stupidity: the unvaccinated force their costs on everybody else in the hospital

[RandomGuy]

So if you aren't vaccinated, your chances of being hospitalized for severe covid are much, much higher.

Cost of this healthcare for serious cases, per person: $400,000 a pop, AVERAGE.

Every 2,500 people with serious COVID in the hospital is a BILLION dollars.

the unvaxxed, if they want us to pay for their bills. Exempt them from bankruptcy and make them pay the bills for the rest of their lives.

Average Costs for a COVID-19 Hospital Stay Top $400,000 in Some States: Study
n the U.S., hospital stays for any reason typically come with bloated bills. But new data show that hospitalization for COVID-19 is on an entirely different level — costing, in many cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars before insurance.

Fair Health, an independent nonprofit that tracks health care costs, recently released an interactive tool that displays state-by-state costs associated with COVID-19 treatment.

“It is notable how widely COVID-19 costs range depending on the severity of the disease,” Robin Gelburd, president at Fair Health, said in an email to Money. The amounts billed by hospitals can vary widely based on where the treatment is taking place as well.

Navigating the potential costs for COVID-19 hospitalization (or any hospital stay) can be incredibly confusing. In its study, Fair Health breaks down the hospitalization charges in different states into “complex” and “noncomplex” COVID-19 cases. It defines complex cases as “the most serious” ones, which require admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) and/or a ventilator. Noncomplex cases include hospital admission but not an ICU visit or a ventilator.


...
Location matters almost as much as the severity of the illness. The most expensive states for treatment for complex COVID-19 cases have the following average costs:

Nevada: $472,213
California: $461,780
Alaska: $417,208
Texas: $378,052
New Jersey: $377,198

Eh, I would say the healthcare/insurance industry itself is more to blame in this instance than the unvaccinated tbh
