What about a ten-thousand-dollar bonus to every healthcare worker?

[gulliver]

To be paid by immediately increasing the health insurance bill of anyone who isn't vaccinated. I'm just trying to think of a way that Republicans won't get away with burdening and harming our healthcare workers. I think a ten-thousand-dollar bonus to every one of them every time a surge happens would be just compensation. Spend a week in Tahiti with your family, courtesy of Republican anti-vaxxers.

1. I've been thinkling they should get sabbaticals

Like a month off every few months so they can relax and recharge.

Including Manchin and Cinema?

4. There might be a way for Congress to address it

What, we're just going to watch our healthcare workers swamped and burned out by Republican anti-vaxxers and not do anything? It's not right, and something can be done. Offer insurance companies tax or reimbursement incentives to reward healthcare workers, solely at the expense of anti-vaxxers, for example. There really needs to be a "war zone" bonus for healthcare workers. And it's all anti-vaxxers creating the war zone in the first place.

3. How about a stimmy check for fully vaccinated?

Maybe make a couple car payments or get some dental care for the family or something.

5. You know how you drive into a business, and they have a sign over a parking space...

... "This space reserved for veterans"?

I want to see parking spaces reserved for health care workers. And for K-12 teachers.

They are the foundation of our society and get so little respect.
