Doctors say that hospitalization of COVID-19 patients in the hospital can cost between 1,500 and several thousand euros, and if necessary, ventilation treatment and more complex equipment can cost up to 123 thousand euros.
Raimondas Kuodis, Vice Chairman of the Board of the Bank of Lithuania, says there is no free treatment. Therefore, even the treatment of unvaccinated COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital is paid for by other taxpayers, LNK told Labas vakaras, Lietuva.
In an interview with LNK News, R. Kuodis said he was more concerned not by the epidemiological figures, but by the “virus that has invaded our brains.”
“It is what to do with the invitation of the people to get vaccinated, it is to push the rope. We understand the absurdity of these things, we know who wins with that push: the public relations specialists, the media that will receive the money, will tell people that they should get vaccinated, ”said R. Kuodis.
In his view, more decisive action is needed.
“Economists have known for more than 103 years what to do in such cases. Obviously, their freedom not to be vaccinated ends in that then it is potentially dangerous for society because it is a carrier of a bacillus, death.
In this case, it is necessary to mold the other side of the brain. The first side of your brain says, “You don’t need to be vaccinated, maybe you can get vaccinated, let others get vaccinated.” Perhaps here those others allow us to create herd immunity. I’ll be quiet here, take a vacation, maybe you ask me somehow. “
That other side of the brain has to be formed by giving people a normal bill of what will happen. In kindergarten, people know that if they misbehave they will go to a recliner. When we move to the adult world, our famous “lojis” come there, – said R. Kuodis.
These principles are already in force in private insurance.
According to the economist, the system must be organized so that “people start thinking.”
“In private insurance, if you run 200 km / h, intoxicated and collide with the cars, guess if your insurance is valid for you? There it is considered normal that if you act carelessly in a special way, that insurance does not apply. So you start to wonder if insurance protects you from worse consequences. No, you think the ban is meant for smart people to spread risk, pile it up, but not all the nonsense, “because I’m already insured,” R said. Kuodis.
The economist proposes transferring the same principles to public health social insurance.
“Then the push of the rope would end, people would go to get vaccinated and we would take care of our looming problem, which will surely arrive probably in the second half of August with all the intensity,” said R. Kuodis.
The question is not about smoking or eating zeppelins.
The economist also has an answer for opponents who ask, “So what, then, say with smokers?”
“In health economics, these things, which are acceptable risks, have been solved hundreds of times. Some people eat zeppelins and they can develop circulatory diseases. It is not about lifestyle. It is about talking about the fact that we are fighting against the public evil, it is a contagious disease. It is not about zeppelins, smoking or alcohol. Because they generally do not infect anything, “said R. Kuodis.
The economist stressed that there is no free treatment.
“Someone else pays for you to sleep and does not pay out of pocket. But that does not mean that the thing is generally free. There is no free higher education, there is no free medicine. It is a fact recognized by the adult community that others pay. Then the question would arise, (…) why do other custodians, who are responsible, have to pay for antivirals and people under their influence? ”Said R. Kuodis.
