Insurance companies should jack up premiums on those unvaccinated.

[Piratedog]

The unvaccinated cause health care costs to rise for the rest of us. They could prevent this outcome but they choose not to. Hit them in the wallet.

1. I'm in favor of this

[SoCalDavidS]

2. They're Just Going To Jack Up EVERYBODY'S Premiums

We'll get to pay for the Shitheads that refuse to get vaccinated.

[Grins]

17. Yup! We're ALL going to pay for them - BIG TIME!!

So make them pay for the damage they created.

[luv2fly]

3. Humans are flawed

Doing what you suggest would have implications for all sorts of other bad choices.

[Grins]

18. You pay more if you smoke, so...? NM

[Bettie]

4. Oh, they will and

they'll jack up the rest of them too.

They've got to make their profit, y'know. Shareholder value, fuck health CARE.

[leftstreet]

5. What about the uninsured? Those on Medicare or the ACA?

[Sgent]

6. They will for large businesses (in effect)

for small businesses and individuals the ACA prevents that type of underwriting.

7. Put all of the willfully unvaxxed infected covidiots in basic palliative care quarantine facilities.

Food, water, clean toilets and a cot.

Stadiums, vacant buildings, parking garages, etc, etc.

Very little care other than painkillers.

8. Jack up premiums

or just don’t cover the cost of treatment for the unvaccinated. Let them and their families pay for it.

[dflprincess]

9. Just refuse to pay the claims. nt

[BannonsLiver]

10. They're going to Jack it up for everyone.

And then they will offer a nominal discount for those who are vaccinated. That way, they win either way.

[Beakybird]

11. Once a vaccine is FDA approved, you will start to see changes to insurance policies.

[Ms. Toad]

15. Nope. The ACA prohibits it. n/t

[lindysalsagal]

12. As should the hospitals.

[sop]

13. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) probably wouldn't allow it.

[Ms. Toad]

14. They can't. There are only 5 reasons under the ACA to deviate from the price charged to everyone -

and being unvaccinated isn't one of them.

The ACA is designed to prevent health-based insurance premiums that would have either prevented my daughter from obtaining health insurance at all - OR - forcing her to pay $1,500 - $2,000/month because she has a costly disease.

The only reason insurance premiums can differe are: age, smoking status, geography, plan (gold, bronze, silver, etc.), and individual v. family enrollment.

And that's a good thing. It is the ONLY reason many individuals can get health insurance at all - no one would otherwise issue my daughter a plan because her care costs $200,000+ each and every year.

19. Funny how fast people forget this

It’s the definition of cutting off ones nose to spite their face.

[madville]

16. They can't under the current ACA law

Like they can’t charge obese people more for obesity-related diseases that are mostly preventable.

[OhioChick]

20. It'll never happen...

They've made record profits throughout the Pandemic. It's all about the money however; all of our premiums will rise due to "them."
