The U.S. Trump administration will this week announce a plan to cover out-of-pocket costs of COVID-19 vaccines for millions of Americans who receive Medicare or Medicaid, Politico reported late on Monday, citing four people with knowledge of the plan.

According to the plans, Medicare and Medicaid will now cover vaccines that receive emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. The changes are expected to be announced on Tuesday or Wednesday by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the report added.

The planned rule will also address other COVID-19 related issues like expanding flexibility for Medicaid patients seeking care for the coronavirus, Politico reported.Reporting by Kanishka Singh; Editing by Sam Holmes

Isn’t this the vaccine which Trump made.....? If it’s anything like the economy and his last 4 years in office it’s bound to fail.

The paper its written on is worthless with Trumps signature....

This is 🐮💩🤬 HumanRightsViolations So use the elderly and poor as guinea pigs? Pushing Bill Gates 'population zero' TED Talk into action? 'If we do a really great job on new vaccines' we can get the population pretty near to 0️⃣

So those are perhaps the easiest pools of taxpayer money to dip into.

Yes

Sounds like a lamb to the slaughter slaughterhouse

YOU MEAN THE VACCINE WE PAID FOR?

There is no vaccine

I hope trump doesn’t shut the down before they can deliver

Hahaha... Ain't no way I'm taking that with my corporate funded health insurance. Our government is full of it.

The left wanted everyone to be at home to they could openly and happily commit mail fraud in voting. So they could get voters to vote before all the Biden family/campaign corruption came out and it would be too late to change their vote. They want the American people not to see.

7 days from the election vote buying much donnie

If I have to pay out of pocket for this fuckin vaccine I am gonna be pissed. That's all.

McDonald Trump will call THAT a 'Healthcare plan'.....

Testing on the old and poor!! How nice of them!!

It needs to cover the rapid test and regular test for people cause nobody can afford them that are on fixed income

Coved 19

Hard pass.

Don’t test it on handicaps and the elderly. Test in on politicians, and if it’s safe and good, then we can get one

I hope it can really be realized, and don't say one thing and do another like the new crown treatment.

Should be for all health plans.

But first, they will strip this coverage in all but the rich, thereby bringing the irony full circle.

So basically the poor with be the test dummies for the vaccine when it’s finally released to the public.... smh

Medicare and Medicaid to cover early Covid vaccineThe Trump administration this week will announce a plan to cover the out-of-pocket costs of Covid-19 vaccines for millions of Americans who receive Medicare or Medicaid, said four people with knowledge of the pending announcement If there is money for Covid stimulus, why not use it to pay for vaccines instead? Still trying to buy votes with promises he likely can’t or won’t keep. And if he does they will be paid for with our own tax money and he will act like he wrote the check from his own account. TrumpIsCompromised Read the ACA. Vaccines for a pandemic declared a national emergency must be provided at no cost under its provisions. Trump is essentially doing nothing. The vaccines will be free to everyone as a matter of law.
