Vaccine Tourism on the Rise

Monday, January 25, 2021

In Florida, reports of rich Canadians, Brazilians and Venezuelans, as well as people from other states, crashing the Sunshine State to get a shot prompted the state's surgeon general to sign a public health advisory last week requiring vaccination providers to ensure that every person who gets the shot lives in the state.

Well, so much for their socialistic, superior healthcare. They have to come to the evil U.S. and get it....

"They were able to get the shot because the executive order that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed just before Christmas gave first dibs on vaccinations to people ages 65 and older but did not specify that they had to actually live in the state.

As for the Canadians, that country's National Post newspaper reported that elderly residents were flying to Florida to get vaccines because DeSantis had given first priority to people ages 65 and over."

A problem DeSatanist caused, and which has now been solved by the State Surgeon General.

Case closed.

Again Corky,

If their healthcare is so superior, why even come to the U.S.?

The U.S. is simply the best, I know that's the answer...

What answer do you delude yourself with as to why these people come to the U.S. if our healthcare is so bad?

For the same reason people from other states are going to Florida for the vaccine... they have some available and the Governor is an idiot.

lmao... s'riously, Major B. Read the articles you post.

They were coming to Florida because the -------- Gov here didn't provide access to the vaccine to front line health care workers first as other states did, but to anyone 65 or older. Which means now we have not enough vaccine for either.

They came here for availability of the vaccine, not because the health care system is better.

As a Canadian I must agree with Boaz.Based on the Metric on when it comes to healthcare access for wealthy the USA is number 1.It really is the one metric where being an citizen holds no advantage over illegals with cash.

Their health care is superior precisely because it doesn't allow rich people to cut the line.

Our health care system isn't superior for you. It's superior for people who are richer than you will ever be. I'm not sure why that's so hard for you to understand.

Boaz, you realky think it's better for America that rich Venezuelans can get the vaccine, instead of GracieAmazed, Danni, and RCade?

Rich people flying into FLA to get a shot while poor Floridians wait for hours in lines only to be turned away?

What's wrong with that?

Sincerely,

Ron DeathSantis.

PS, Can you kick a couple thou into my re-election fund?

Bozo thinks that the fact that greedy corporations exploiting the wealthy to pad their bottom line while kicking the poor into the gutter makes American Health Corporations the best while the actual health metrics that measure the system proves America is at the rock bottom.

Anyone surprised with the idea "If you want to live, you should be rich" mentality?

That's not my argument and not the subject of my post.

Turn down your deflecto meter..

"That's not my argument and not the subject of my post."

It isn't?

You asked "If their healthcare is so superior, why even come to the U.S.?"

Then you answered. "The U.S. is simply the best, I know that's the answer..."

Were you being sarcastic, Boaz??
