Nah, their political point is dumb.
Probably a bad plan to make said point by fighting against science and medicine.

Covid is big business. We know how insurance companies, are the paywall/gatekeepers to health care and raise the price of everything to provide services and medical products for their huge profit.
Anyways Abbot makes a covid19 test, Panbio. In Europe its about $4. In 'Murica its $25.
Recent topic in covid news is making insurance companies pay for at home covid19 tests. But that topic fizzled with, omicron, stock market, more Arec Bardwin, oxford, did is miss something?
This pandemic seems like a great way to derail healthcare for all. Or a taste of government mandated health care. What you think?

Can I interest you in some single payer? Or are you saying you don't want that?
If you don't like insurance companies, single payer is for you. Your right, they make lots of money as a middleman/gatekeeper. I don't think they provide a necessary service. Doctors need to get paid though (and nurses, facilities, etc. ) so there has to be some sort of assurance they will be compensated for services rendered. Or pay up front, but that isn't feasible in emergencies. Some people end up needing some expensive health services, do you let them die if they can't pay? You need some entity that guarantees payment.
The complaint about tax increases seems to be made by people that don't pay for health insurance. I would gladly swap out health insurance premiums for a straight 10 to 20% tax. Costs would also come down with eliminating insurance companies. There would be a lot of jobs lost.

I too am taking a more Darwinian view of the willfully ignorant and vaccine resistant Trumpers and paranoids. The young and misled I have some sympathy for, the older ones should know better.
Tribalism is a powerful force, it strikes at our instinctive propensities as human beings, makes people stupid and causes people believe bullshit, it allows assholes to manipulate and do their thinking for them. They end up being a danger to themselves, others, their communities, states, country and even their planet. It's hard to imagine a worse human being than Trump, yet race based tribalism turned this pathetic idiot and lifetime loser into an infallible God and America's savior in the minds of millions.

We have QR codes on POV here in NS as additional security, any security guard or cop can download the app on their phone to check vaccine statues. Uttering a fake federal document is a crime here and in most places.Fake Covid passports are being sold in Europe.

Honestly, I really don't think our distribution been tracked well enough for that to work. Maybe something on the backend that we can't see, but its really all on the end user as far as I can tell. We struggle just to get people to take it.
Edit: wonder if my target app can be utilized for more than curbside pickup?

None of those words is scary. Even so that is some efficient fearmongering.

1st case of omicron variant discovered in Manitoba
The person who tested positive for the newest coronavirus variant of concern recently travelled to Manitoba from one of the 14 federally advised countries and has so far experienced mild symptoms, the province said.
Manitoba reports four deaths and 93 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, the provincial coronavirus data dashboard says.
Of the new cases, 38 are in the Southern Health Region, 34 are in the Winnipeg health region, 11 are in the Northern Health Region, six are in the Interlake-Eastern health region and four are in the Prairie Mountain Health region.
As of Tuesday, 152 Manitobans are hospitalized with COVID-19, holding steady from the day before, including 32 in intensive care, an increase of two.
When looking at those in ICU with active COVID-19, 22 are unvaccinated and two are fully vaccinated.
The province has about 85% vaccinated. So 15% of the people that are not vaccinated results in 30 people in the ICU and the vaccinated in the ICU is 2.
