If you're put in jail, the State pays. If the State orders you to quarantine in a hospital, you pay

That's probably legal, but it seems rather unfair, imo.

An American who was quarantined to check for signs of coronavirus says he's facing more than $2,600 in bills from his government-mandated hospital stay

I mean they were never sick, so they can't claim any private insurance benefits even if they have them. If you are quarantined in your home, tough luck. We quarantined people fairly commonly in the 19th and even earlier 20th century … before vaccines. But actually ordering you to a medical treatment facilty?

Maybe Dems can run on an election promise of voting to repeal it.

Well if we have a full blown quarantine of cities, you can bet Trump's cuts to healthcare and science will make him a one termer.

Unless, he shows leadership and a way for Americans who financially suffer to get back on their feet. Obama really failed at that. Jobs came back, but a lot of people never made back what they'd lost. And that's why Trump beat Hillary, and even then it took Comey to put him over the top.

But imo it'd be doable unless the quaranties last a month or more.

I can understand how they feel. When Commie Care started, it gave my employer the opportunity to drop our coverage like so many other employers across the country. The policy said I MUST buy insurance WITH MY OWN MONEY, and if I didn't, they'd keep or reduce my income tax refund.

So as long as Obama set the precedent that government can now force people to do things at their own financial expense, well I guess these people are just going to have to foot the bill.

I'll agree with the OP about unfair- but, it's pretty obvious, (even to a blind person I would think), that when one is favored the other is treated unfairly- that's what happens when politicians buy/sell votes to insure election and especially re election- it doesn't matter who's in charge, R, D or red, yellow, black, white or a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater, communist. marxist, socialist, moralist, nazi - it doesn't matter. It's the result of gov't taking too much authority over the mindless who attended the Public Education centers for dumbing down,
