As COVID case numbers tick up again, but most people who are being hospitalized are among the unvaccinated, some people are floating the idea that health insurance companies could or should charge a premium for anyone who doesn’t get the shot.
“They do charge more for smokers, but that’s really the exception and not the rule,” said Brandeis University’s Michael Doonan, the executive director of the Massachusetts Health Policy Forum.
Doonan said it would be difficult to charge a premium on an individual basis while the vaccines are under emergency use authorization — even though the unvaccinated are costing insurers more.
“Unequivocally, people who have not had their vaccinations for COVID cost more money,” said Doonan, “then you have more hospitalizations, and more deaths.”
But, Doonan said, those increased insurance costs will likely be recouped another way — through employers.
“Companies who are negotiating with insurance companies, if they have a whole bunch of employees who are unvaccinated and their costs go up this year, next year their premiums are going to go through the roof,” Doonan said.
“It’s wrong, it’s totally wrong,” said Tony Medina of Worcester.
They are now resorting to illegal and unconstitutional tactics to push that vaccine. I can’t afford my insurance now and I choose not to get the vaccine because I fear it will give me bigger problems than the virus and that would cost the insurance company a lot more. All of these measures they are taking to try to trick the public into taking an experimental drug are so communistic.
COVID can’t cost as much as say cancer.
total bullshit
cancer. think of all the shit the government has NOT done to protect us from cancer, roundup
smoking. think of all the shit the government has NOT done to protect us from cancer, big tobacco
car accidents. Ralph Nader was the super hero that put the colluding government and auto industry in the limelight for all the illegal shit they did, that did NOT protect the public.
OxyContin. this shit went on for decades while big pharma and the government raked in big money making junkies out of its citizens. “The controversial settlement, valued at more than $8.3 billion, would restructure Purdue Pharma, which entered bankruptcy last year. Going forward, the company would operate as a public trust under government control, continuing to manufacture opioid medications.” UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
Healthcare. Now not affordable, and why. Because the colluding government cared so much about my health, they made healthcare not affordable, It was either poverty or no insurance. I choose no insurance.
The government CARES SO MUCH ABOUT MY HEALTH, they are now going to restrict my travel, where I can eat, what venue’s I can attend, and charge me more for already not affordable healthcare, if I do not comply and get shot up with poison.
I am already living in poverty and uninsured. I do not see me eating out, taking a cruise or jetting off to hawaii anytime in the near future.
show me your papers.
All of my life I’ve been taught not to experiment with drugs, yet now somehow it’s a requirement? F,U, I’ve had the Wuhan flu and my body fought off in 2 days with help from a lot of vitamins and now I have Ivermectin, HQL, Azithromycin and zinc in the fridge in case I get it again. You do you, I’ll do me.
Months ago I said you would come to see anti-vaccine shaming alienation and BLAME place upon the noncompliant and here we have it. It was quite predictable and obvious that it was not only the last election but the next that they are culling the voting populace from.
NO END to ideas on how to Gouge Americans !!!!
