Unvaccinated will probably start to pay a premium for insurance. The hospitalization costs far exceeds cost of vaccines.

Absolutely and I agree 100%. Governments in some countries are now telling the unvaccinatd they have to pay for treatment

I'm surprised that health insurance premiums haven't gone up substantially as a result of this virus, and the huge costs at the hospitals. I wonder how much longer it will be before we all begin to take a major hit in the wallet.

Even money say's everyone's premiums will go up. Never let a chance to dollar up go by.

Yes, insurance companies will be among the few who won't discriminate.

Too bad we can't charge it back to China, where the dang virus started. They wanted to kill us off but that didn't happen.

While China seems a likely scapegoat, the origin of Covid 19 is unknown.

IMO it’s a slippery slope when you start singling out specific groups or diseases to create an à la carte healthcare menu.

At some point, each of us will find ourselves at a disadvantage due to age, smoking, drinking, diet, etc...

I agree that everyone who can be should be vaccinated and take the simple precautions to protect themselves. I don’t believe that anyone should be penalized or priced out of the healthcare system.

But how else can the vaccinated people get that warm, fuzzy, superior, smug-all-over feeling?
