'I never expected to have to pay up and be square before I could get the vaccine,' Michael Rogan told KUSA on Thursday.

Rogan, a cancer patient, said his vaccine appointment was confirmed with Boulder Medical Center on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he was informed by"someone else in the organization" that his debt would have to be settled before he could be vaccinated.

"I never expected to have to pay up and be square before I could get the vaccine," Rogan told KUSA on Thursday."I thought by my being 72 and a cancer patient that I would qualify and it would be no problem." Rogan had a balance in collections of $243.85 which the medical facility said in an email needed to be paid"before you can schedule a vaccine appointment."President Joe Biden said in January that the COVID-19 vaccine would be provided to U.S. residents free of charge.

On Friday, Rogan said that Boulder Medical Center had rescheduled his vaccination after being made aware of the issue. Rogan added that the health care facility indicated it would work with him on addressing his medical debt.

That medical Center knows no shame and should have their name all over the internet as vaccine cheaters, using something provided to them by the taxpayer to strong arm debt collections from little people. “Pay or die”. Shame!

Despicable Callous Bastards.

I will pay it. Someone give me the info.

Only in the U.S., because every other developed country in the world provides universal healthcare. And free college. The U.S. is third world for the 99%.

lucky him....leave him alone

That’s just ridiculous!

What’s his Venmo?
