maybe this will encourage people to get vaxxed

[rdking647]

no vax?? enjoy big medical bills. If your're unvaxxed and get covid your insurance shouldnt have to pay dollar 1 for a self inflicted injury...

hitting the unvaxxed with big medical payments might encourage more to get teh jab

1. i alway thought the insurance companies would eventually think being unvaccinated

...would be considered risky behaviour

3. Under the ACA, the only risky behavior they are allowed to surcharge for is smoking. nt

2. My relative tried to commit suicide

with a self-inflicted injury. They got medical care.

I'm strongly pro-vaccine, but there are slippery slopes here.

4. I think the OP means you still give them care ... but then charge them for it

To do anything close to this though I think there'd have to be a change to ACA by Congress, and even then the most the insurers could do is charge extra for premiums.

5. Almost no suicide attempts endanger the lives of others.

Yes there are exceptions but it would be farcical to compare a typical suicide attempt to a person who has made the deliberate, willful and calculated decision to endanger not just their own life but literally every single person they may come into contact with.

It's not the same thing.

The ranks of our medical professionals were thinned last year due to death and disability and pure mental, physical and emotional exhaustion. Fewer people signed up for this gig in a pandemic and there were fewer people available to teach them.

We simply cannot, as in do not have the capacity, to treat 10's of MILLIONS of stupid fucking assholes who elected not to get vaccinated because freedumb and libtards.
