    So will insurance companies stop covering vaccines after the federal government no longer supports/requires them? I guess state education departments could still require them…right?

      I’m betting insurance companies will still cover vaccines. If they didn’t covered individuals will still get sick and consume even more costly medical, hospital, and surgical services. Getting customer to get vaccines are good business for insurance companies.

        Unless regulation is so loose they basically don’t have to pay a damn thing even when you get sick.

          If it gets that bad, then people will simply drop insurance.

            Not unless they keep the regulation that ACA established where you need to be covered at a certain level. That way insurance companies can literally just collect money and not actually have to pay for anything.

            My insurance tries to get out of everything, but I cannot leave because it’s legally mandated that I must buy it.

              In the USA at least, the mandate was dropped by Supreme Court decision.

        So is covering preventative care like physical therapy after an injury so you can heal correctly and not require further treatments but my insurance gives diddly for PT. They should cover gym memberships and aerobic classes too. If they can deny coverage for smoking them I should get extra benefits if I exercise and eat properly.

        We just don’t know what is gonna happen next year when the shit hits the country.
