We’re all going to pay for the unvaccinated
“The spike in hospitalizations of unvaccinated adults — which are almost all preventable — cost the U.S. health system more than $2 billion in June and July, per a KFF analysis.
Why it matters: Those costs are ultimately shouldered by all of us, not just those who remain unvaccinated and then get severely ill.
By the numbers: A coronavirus hospitalization costs, on average, around $20,000.
The bottom line: We’re all paying for the unvaccinated, and the big question is how large we’ll let the bill become.”
