Is it time to stop using federal funds to treat unvaccinated covid patients?

What will happen is that there won't be any doctors or hospitals and a lot of sick and dead people. Clearly you have not thought this out.

Clearly not. Cost is closely related to demand.

What hasn't been thought out is the massive dependence the citizens now have on their government.

How so?

insurance is lucky people subsidizing unlucky people.
or safe people subsidizing unsafe people.

So you think that people will spend up to $60K a year fir 10-14 years to become a doctor ans then settle for what the average person can pay out of pocket for an office visit or surgury? Or maybe you think that the people who teach medicine would settle for lower pay after they invested many years and tens of thousands of dollars in their own education. Maybe we should just lower our standards fo education. How low are you willing to go?

And maybe you think that the cost of running and maintaining hospitals and the cost of equipment and supplies all down the supply chain would magically become cheaper. More likely suppliers of medical equipment would just look to other markets.

Government is there to make life better for people by providing services when needed. It is not dependance. It is a social contract. People contribute to government and govermnment gives back as need. You can bleat about socialism as I am sure that you are about to, but your pay as you go plan is just unworkable bullshit
