Obama Economic Advisor : I would bet non-vaccination for 65+ is actually a plus for the federal budget (at least for direct costs).

Is Obama economic advisor Jason Furman talking about how to reduce entitlements?

P.S. I would bet non-vaccination for 65+ is actually a plus for the federal budget (at least for direct costs). Dying after three weeks in the hospital will save a decade of Medicare bills, including from a potentially more expensive death, & also future SS payments.
