US law has created a scandalous ‘hole’ that will force millions of Americans to pay for the coronavirus vaccine from their own pockets.
This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Problems have arisen with the CARES Act, which includes state support programmes for the population during the pandemic. Among other things, this regulatory act also provides for covering vaccine costs. However, the support programme does not cover the costs of emergency medicines approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
They are currently trying to rectify the situation in Washington. Until then, this discrepancy, according to officials, means that millions of US citizens will have to pay for the vaccine themselves.
We would like to remind you that since the beginning of the pandemic, 6.83 million people have been identified as infected in the United States. Almost 200,000 people have died.
