Paid treatment for no vax who get covid is not a viable hypothesis. However, at least the costs could be shown. Matteo Bassetti, director of the infectious diseases department at the San Martino Hospital in Genoa, says this to Adnkronos Health. The idea launched by the Lazio Region Health Councilor, Alessio D’Amato, to make the no-Vax pay for Covid treatment “is a tool that exists in other countries, in the United States if you don’t get vaccinated for measles, for example. or for other infectious diseases, and you get infected, the insurance does not cover the costs of treatment. Certainly it is a provocation and in our public health system I think it is difficult to apply. public, how much the unvaccinated patient cost to the state coffers “.

Maybe – he suggests – delivering with the resignation letter of the unvaccinated patient, but assisted and treated by Covid, also all the costs incurred for him by the hospital. Thus one realizes how heavy the choice not to be vaccinated is for the entire community “.
