This is the first time I have seen such a story. I expect it will start a trend. $200 more a month. That will get people's attention.

1. Let the "invisible hand" of the market decide!

2. They can do this because they self-insure their employees.

It might be a pretty effective incentive, along with the fact that if you don't vax and get covid you have to take your days off as sick/PTO days but those days are free if you're vaccinated and get a breakthrough case.

4. My company self insures too

We've had a self reporting app for vaccinations, but only 65% reported they are vaccinated. The annual enrollment period starts later in September, I'm very anxious to see what they have in it. A fee for non vaccinated is absolutely needed, otherwise us vaccinated are just paying their way.
