True. I believe most Medicare Advantage plans have it. I have been covered by 2 plans (Aetna and Blue Cross/Blue Shield) and both had similar offerings. And I know Humana does. But when I was covered by my company's health care plan, such perks were not offered.

And it is not offered with Medicare or Medicaid! So ...
it won't be "offered" with the NewDealSandersKumola socialized medicine!
And roughly 180 million people covered by employer coverage don't have it now .... but most of them can't go to a gym and won't beable to when Bitten-Kumola team shut down America like their supporters have in the DumboCrat states.
Speedo: It's all about YOU, isn't it?
Back to the OP: Why did Pfizer wait until AFTER THE ELECTION to announce the EXISTENCE of a publicly available VACCINE?

You are making assumptions that will probably never happen. Time will tell.
You are understandably upset that your man lost to Biden. I don't think anything I stated points to it being all about me. But you can continue on with your inane comments. I expect it.

Fact check: No evidence supports Trump’s claim that COVID-19 vaccine result was suppressed to sway election
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020...was-suppressed
Pfizer CEO dismisses Trump Jr’s claim Covid vaccine announcement was held back to damage Trump
Pfizer’s chief executive officer has dismissed suggestions that the timing of their announcement about a highly-promising coronavirus vaccine was delayed until after the election, in a bid to deny Donald Trump any electoral boost.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1719837.html
Trump supporters always are looking for conspiracies, no matter how unfounded.

Very true on Medicare. It is OPTIONAL. As is Medicare Advantage. Anyone who turns it down though is crazy. The only downside to Medicare is some doctors do not accept it -- too much paperwork.
As for Medicare Advantage, the cost is free to me and they pay $35 towards my Medicare montly payment. $10 copay for PCP, $50 for in-network specialists. If someone is taking away my freedom I will accept it at that cost.

But that probably won't ever be the case. It's easier and much more profitable for doctors to dispense medications.

Companies do this with their employee healthcare. Credits for gym memberships, discounts for not smoking or quitting, discounts for hitting verified weight loss goals. Companies are also doing tests for cigarette smoking. All of these and more should be in a national healthcare plan. You don't have to do it, but pay less if you do.

Trump was also shifting the manufacturing of Rxs to the U.S. that would create millions of jobs instead of packing China's wallet on the backs of U.S. citizens.
Now, perhaps, Hunter can scoop up some more cash from Asia. He's "earned" it!

When you quoted me, you left out what I wrote about lawyers buying off Democratic politicians. Lawyers donate mostly to Democrats and their political contributions are multiples of the pharmaceutical industry's. The pharma industry only contributed more to Democrats this year, in the 2020 election. In past years their contributions were pretty balanced, or leaned towards Republicans. They probably thought, incorrectly, that they saw the writing on the wall, that Republicans would be shut out of government, and saw no point investing in losers.
That said, you've certainly got a point, if you expand your argument to money the drug industry spends on lobbying. They charge too much. They need to be slapped down. If they're going to price gouge in the USA, then shorten their patents. Incentives to manufacture more drugs in the USA is a good idea, but you have the risk that by cutting out foreign competitors, the drug companies will be able to jack their prices up even more. In fact a couple of Trump's executive orders make it easier to import drugs. I think those and his other executive orders to bring down drug prices were a good idea, and suspect you're correct, that lobbying and campaign contributions by the drug industry kept these measures from being taken earlier.

More great news, if you haven’t heard. The Moderna vaccine has been 94.5% effective so far in its Phase 3 clinical trial! And the people who took it and were infected (only about 5) didn’t get very sick. This vaccine does not require special refrigeration like the Pfizer vaccine.
Operation Warp Speed pumped $2 billion into this vaccine.
I hope those here who who suspect this vaccine is a con job promoted by Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, and President Trump to promote their financial and political interests will realize they were mistaken and, given the opportunity, get the vaccine.

I think Pfizer and Moderna both wanted to have at least 100 people infected, in their control group and vaccinated group combined. And that didn't happen until after the election. If they had announced prematurely, people would criticize them for not having enough data, probably including the anti-vaxxers here.

That is no "fact check"! It wasn't "Trump's claim"! It's a FACT.
I'm glad you've used your "education" to parrot the LameStreamMedia!
Speedo do you have even a FACTUAL clue as to when the pharma industry began "researching" and "exploring" a drug response to Covid-19? And secondly the SOURCE of Covid-19 ... meaning the medical-scientific origins of the "cell" and the original purpose of it?
Or do you still actually believe it festered in cave monkeys brought to a lap which escaped?
You keep listening to the LOONATICKS who embraced Russian Collusion et al. and PissLousy!
