Does the Lazio health councilor want to make non-vaccinated people pay for intensive care? Then also cut the payment to the SSN, and you will see what a nice boomerang
Every now and then we see some unconstitutional and vaguely fascist circular proposal for the mass media. For example, the councilor for health of the Lazio region, Alessio D'Amato , has come to use the shotgun against the No Vax: if you do not get vaccinated and end up in intensive care (I hope only for the covid, I would not also exclude road accidents) then you pay for it.
This splendid idea is becoming more and more popular in the political world: if you don't do as I tell you, I won't provide you with services. Let's leave out the obvious constitutional aspects, and move on to practical considerations: who pays?
Italian citizens do not have access to health services for free, but pay them rather handsomely with the "Contribution to the NHS", paid for by taxes. At this point, if you do not give me the insurance service, then you give me back a portion of my payment to the SSN, as a tax credit or with an increase in the insurance deductibility. Why do I have to pay for a service that, by your choice, you do not give me?
Let's evaluate the risks of ending up in intensive care: yesterday there were 548 hospitalizations for Covid in intensive care throughout Italy, of which 23 new cases, i.e. new events. On a population of 60 million inhabitants it means a risk of 0.000038% for each citizen, vaccinated or not, and, unfortunately, we do not have the incidence of non-vaccinated for a more precise calculation. In your opinion, there is no private insurance company that, with a negligible cost, is willing to cover you from the risk, in a country where there are 3300 deaths from road accidents per year, more than 9 per day and 471 accidents? Furthermore, the insurance will want to reduce the risk that policyholders go to intensive care, so it will pay for all the effective treatments proposed by alternative protocols, even at the cost of sending the policyholder to their doctors to have them prescribed. Think people think…
Not only that, there will be an interesting result: the no vax person will be able to be admitted to intensive care privately, so they will certainly have the place available. If there is a crisis on public IT posts, will the vaccinee have the same security of being able to access them in case of complications? In short, dear councilor, attention: you risk having launched a huge boomerang. Among other things, with the same criterion, it is expected that smokers will not be admitted to intensive care for pulmonary complications, or not vaccinated with hepatitis B due to hepatic complications….
