Gee, it seems like a lot of diseases are on the rise in Florida — like chickenpox, whooping cough, and that old favorite of the Trumpsters, measles. Yet the state surgeon general, Dr. LaStupido, told CNN today that he and his office did not analyze this data, or make any projections of disease incidences based on it. They lifted vaccine mandates anyway.
Jeez, that makes us awfully glad we no longer live there. Sadly, though, there's no real protection from this idiocy, because unvaccinated Florida kids and their parents will still get on planes and travel to the rest of the country. So this fall, we're getting all the shots we possibly can.
But here's a thought: What about health insurance premiums? That's another thing that's going to cause big headaches for Floridians. When insurers set their prices for the Sunshine State, they're going to have to allow for the fact that some of their policyholders will get sick from entirely preventable diseases. That's just math.
In other words, health insurance premiums are about to make Florida's home insurance costs look like a bargain. We cats HISS.
