"Free healthcare is like pretty cool when you get an opportunity to partake in it, so like why not? [Get vaccinated] just for the thrill of free healthcare."

I don't post a lot of videos, but then there's this one.

People have changed over the last year and a half, and not for the better.

Ah, well, you can't fix stupid. But I do see a lot of perfectly avoidable medical bankruptcies in the future.

Who didn't miss the delightful process of finding out if the vaccine provider was in your network, checking to see if you'd met the deductible, filing a claim for the cost and then getting a check for 65% of it four weeks later?

This "Walk in, show ID, get treatment" model is for Europeans and suchlike.

We didn't have any of that here in the US as the vaccine was free for everyone.

I wouldn't say "free" healthcare is a thrill. It's just healthcare, and much like most places, something you don't think about until you need it.

Not surprisingly, the people who most need to understand have completely missed the point.

Maybe if they watched the video....

Nah. Too much work. It's like what, five minutes? Who's going to do that? It's easier to just act smug and pretend to know what's going on than to actually participate legitimately.

I believe that was the point.

It was. I really am communicating badly today.

Agreed. It's not as if it's particularly fun, in general.

"Free" anything generally turns out to be exactly what that word means in that context... worthless.
