So, the immunization isn't free without insurance...

I'm kinda disappointed. I wanted to get it to protect my family, but it costs money and you have to jump through hoops to get it in the states. confused Folks in charge said we'd all be able to get it, heavily implying that it would be free.

I got mine through insurance, I was certain there weren't too many hoops involved in the uninsured. some money but not too much, but perhaps there are some regional difficulties.

As in the COVID vaccine? From my understanding, that is supposed to be free to everyone regardless of insurance status. If someone is uninsured, the provider should participate in the HRSA Uninsured program and bill the federal government, not you.

This, and also, my employer offered to cover any costs associated with the vaccine, so you might want to check with yours.

Nothing is ever truly "free," when it comes to the government.

Sure, you won't physically swipe your credit card or hand over any greenbacks when you go in to get "the jab."

But trust me, all this "free COVID-related healthcare" is coming out of your taxes, and future taxes. This has all been an excuse to further bloat the already ponderous healthcare community.
