In the US hospitals and healthcare is/has become pretty much a capitalist enterprise. The more you need something, the more they will jack the price. They pull invoice figures out their ass. It's a scam. I avoid it as much as possible.Completely agree.. and most of my family are healthcare professionals.
And if you don't submit to their ridiculous figures, they promptly turn you over to collections and try and bully it out of you by fucking with your credit. They just end up causing more trouble than they are worth much of the time.
In such a case, I don't give heed to such ideals. I do as I wish. If I am denied service(s), I boycott and go elsewhere. No problem! A mandate isn't a law, and any law which violates the Constitution is null and void. I have the right to travel. I have the right to free speech. I have many rights, just as others do. I will use my rights just as I urge others to. Remember, law enforcement has jurisdiction to enforce the law. There is no mandate enforcement agency. Since there is no vaccine/mask law, there is no jurisdiction for law enforcement to use force to gain adherence.
I think the situation may be different for me than others. I don't have to constantly deal with the economic issues, drive, communicate, etc. on a daily basis, nor do I have a family to care for. I understand that others do have to deal with these things on a repeating basis. Do the best you can with what you can.
If you lived in Europe, you wouldn't have much choice. In most countries covid certificates are obligatory by law so the decision is not left to the business owners. You can't boycott one service and go to another. You're effectively barred from the social life altogether, including employment.
I have the right to travel.
Maybe it looks good on paper, and you might even get away with it for a while, but the thugs with guns beg to differ, and some of us know how it usually ends. With your dumbass getting your window smashed out and dragged off to jail along with that fucking lame regurgitated internet script.
Edit : Wow. The forum is really out to get me today. Maybe I should be using my fucking phone instead.
It all depends on the state laws. I don't know how it looks like in Texas. If introducing covid certificates depends on individual businesses, then it is possible that many won't be using them as that means losing a considerable number of clients. As far as the travel goes, he might have enough of money to afford testing each time he's out. The same goes for employers, some might require vaccinations, others not. But if covid green pass is mandated by the country law, then all the businesses are forced to use it, otherwise they pay fines.
The videos can be quite entertaining, and I've been meaning to put one up, but I never seem to find any of the good ones when browsing for that purpose.
Got me wondering what the requirements will be next month when I go to the DMV, unless of course an internet option will be available. I have no problem with wearing a facemask, or even a covid test, but I'd prefer to avoid the mystery jab for as long as possible.
The state can really be assholes when it comes to a lot of stuff, so we'll see.
I don't need their shot anyway unless for reasons previously stated. This whole covid thing is just one big fuckin' mess, and the vaccine seems to be causing more trouble than it's most likely worth.
