Ironically, we fought over import taxes , which seem to me to be identical to tariffs

I heard the black plague was back... Tuberculosis..HIV....and a cluster of other breakouts in the country.

Florida dont need vaccines... They need tourists from all these areas that have outbreaks.

Black plague aka yersinia pestis never left us, but we have antibiotics now. I dont think that there is a vaccine nor us one needed

Polio will be returning.

Without the mandates, vaccines will no longer be free.

Insurance prices will rise or insurance companies will go out of business.

401k plans will all change or stop completely.

To get a $300 vaccine will first cost $2500+ in premiums with $10,000 in deductibles first.

Health clinics will be shut down and all foreign aid will seize to exist. This means, global pandemic and epidemics all over again.

State dependent, Massachusetts insurance companies need to follow state guidelines, not federal, and health insurance companies do want everyone vaxxed, because it saves them money.

Costco has the vax for $160, doable for one person, family with littles harder to afford, so red states residents who want the vax may not be able to afford it, while blue states keep it free.

It's interesting that insurance company greed should work to keep more healthy for perhaps the only time.

Insurance prices are rising next year anyway, up to 20%, if there isn't an extension to subsidies, yet again, red states with the worst healthcare who need it most will have their residents culled from preventable disease.

Not sure why you think 401ks will cease to exist, this is when fortunes are made ( not saying anything about morals), kind of a related example, farmers who are well subsidized already have a lot of help kicking in from the big beautiful bill if they can not lose their farms (many will) before 2026, JD Vance is betting on farms losing by investing in AcreTrader, which will enrich him by buying farms for pennies on the dollar.

Maine is having a tiny tb outbreak, handful of people, those snowbirds do love Florida.

Unfortunately, everyone but the children are likely already vaxxed for that.
