The Department of Health and Human Services announced earlier this month that COVID-19 vaccines, which had been given out for free by the U.S. government, will now be sold for money.
The report said that this would start in the beginning of 2023. After that, Americans would have to get vaccines through their insurance or pay for them themselves.
It said that about 8% of the U.S. population that doesn't have health insurance would be hurt the most once the government stops buying health care.
The report said that even people with health insurance would have to pay for some of the costs themselves, which was a problem because the cost of living in the United States is going up quickly.
It also said that it was likely that fewer eligible people would have to try a fourth time.
