The Unvaccinated Should Lose Their Health Insurance

    If you're not going to get the vaccine, which is scientifically proved to be effective in preventing COVID, then insurance companies should drop you from their policies.

    This is going to happen, and when it does, will not be anything other than capitalism and the free market at work.

    If I'm an insurer, I'm dropping anybody who can't prove they're vaccinated because they represent a much higher risk of me having to pay out.

    The alternative would be having separate insurance for the unvaccinated at much higher rates. However, as an insurer, the risk is so high, I'm not sure such a policy would be worth my time. That said, I'm sure they could calculate appropriate rates.

      "Your health and wellness should be put at risk, because your health and wellness are at risk."

      This is a comprehensive, well thought out, and unarguable point. You have defeated the anti-vax community singlehandedly.

      First, what if they get something other than COVID?  Still not insured?

      Second, is that a path we should be careful of?  Will we not insure fat people?  Those that smoke?  People that engage in dangerous sports?  Folks that work outdoors (skin cancer)?  Where does it end?

        Then perhaps insurance companies can provide a carrot to the vaccinated - discounts on their insurance rates. Announce a national policy. All vaccinated people will see their insurance rates cut in half. Something like that.

          That would be nice!  If my insurance rates were cut in half I might even see my SS check go UP for once instead of down nearly every year.

          If, that is, the politicians didn't double the medicare rates to pay for the extra medicaid for the unvaccinated people that get COVID...

          That better than no health insurance to non vaccinated. Better than free donuts, pizza beer, icecream for free vaccines.
          Our best insurance is our off grid community of 20 people do not allow vaxxers within our eco village. That insurance us not to not join the vaxxers genocide.

        Is that not already happening Wilderness?
        In Spain, there is a national healthcare system like in the UK.
        Once I was out of this system for a year and had to look for private health insurance.
        As because I've got Epilepsy no health insurance wanted to cover me with anything realted to epilepsy (acidents etc.)
        Now I back on the national health service again, no problem there.

        Where does it end? Well, insurance is a business, they take more care about the insurance company than the insured person. That's called capitalism.
        So yes, I can imagine insurance companies making vaccinations mandatory, or you have to pay more.

          It appears to me that people don't exactly have a problem when other people simply want mandated vaccines or facing a raised price, or whatever other consequences we could think of. The problems seem to arise when people appear to be having some sort of social/sociopolitical orgasm, if you can forgive my tasteless jest, at the thought of forcing people they don't like to do something they want them to do. This is a common theme throughout history as well, and letting people feel as if the decisions they've made were purely by their own hand is truly the only way to gain a long-term victory.

          Then again, I'm included by the ignorant into the anti-vax crowd because I'm waiting until October 1st, 2024, to get my jabs.

            People don't think about the bigger picture.
            People are upset if the government asks you to get a vaccine to slow down Covid to help the hospitals and the stress on the care sector.
            It's the same reaction as smokers are upset because they are not allowed to smoke anymore in airplanes or in government buildings. STOP that's against my freedom! I have the freedom to smoke where I want and when I want.
            Nope, you don't, as smoking is not just a personal risk but also a communal risk.
            The same with vaccination! It's not just a personal choice, it's a choice that affects the whole society and people should think about that. But most are too occupied with screaming "Freedom", forgetting that freedom is something for all and not just for one person.

              Perhaps if the media made it their prerogative to present unbiased facts rather than sensationalism, more people would be ready and willing to get the jabs. Alas, it goes back to what I said, people want to get their social/sociopolitical rocks off any way they can, and that makes most anything difficult to follow factually.

              According to the data, though, it doesn't seem to have much more than a marginal effect for a shrinking minority of people to refuse the vaccines, so I don't understand all of the uproar. I especially don't understand it within the context of other vaccine-treatable diseases not forcefully pushed anywhere near the same way. It's all a hot mess that I think people should have the right to personal choice on like most other things that are societal concerns we completely ignore.

                There are a lot of things in the society where you don't have a personal choice. As there is the law of the country.
                You don't have the personal choice to smoke in a bus
                You don't have a personal choice to ignore a red traffic light
                You don't have a personal choice to dump you rubbish everywhere you want.
                etc etc.
                Personal choice is limited and rightly so otherwise it would be one big mess.
                Still, there's lots of freedom in the western world to say that you don't want a vaccine and to ignore the red traffic light.
                To get sick and perhaps die is that person's own free choice. What's not in the person's own freedom is to kill somebody else in an accident.

                  Just sounds like preemptive punishment based on that false equivalent. If I can go to work without the flu shot, even encouraged to come to work or face consequences if I do not while sick, then COVID should be treated much in the same way. If you agree that all illnesses should be treated the same way, if the government can do the same with how the law views it all and the way they treat them, I'll support mandates and consequences like with most other issues.

                  Until then, this is one issue in a sea of bigger problems they're honing in on in some sort of possibly-reactionary, politicized maneuver that is confusing and enraging everyone on all sides. At the end of the day, we can all agree that this was and continues to be handled in a disgustingly poor way. From my personal perspective, the government wants me to make concessions when they will not do the same for me, which is why I will wait until the jabs switch over to the standard model for compensation.

                  If politicians can play the game of give and take with impunity, so can we, and so should we. Anyone who does not want a mutually fair exchange I can only assume they want to take some sort of moralistic, virtue-signaling stance, or otherwise don't understand the gravity of the data and their decisions.

                    I do fully agree.
                    It's disaster politics. During a disasters, politicians can do things they normally can't as the public would oppose.
                    Like the politics after 9/11 with the patriot act for instance. mass surveillance and tapping phones, all legal. etc
                    The same happens today.
                    And I do fear for things like covid-passports. Showing an app when you want to enter a mall.
                    It's where we're heading and I don't like it a bit.

                    I think waiting for an upgrade, as you plan to do is not a bad good idea. I would have done it myself as well, but I want to fly to the UK and so I need that jab.
                    I had two Pfizer jabs, and no side effects at all. So I guess it depends a bit on the circumstances of every individual. If you're working in a bar in a city, I def. can imagine you don't want to wait. If you live in a small town and do outside work, you wouldn't have any problems at all.

                    "From my personal perspective, the government wants me to make concessions when they will not do the same for me...."
                    That happens all over the world and is in my point of view not a right-wing nor a left-wing trait...sadly enough.

                    In the meantime, we've got to make the best of it. And not judge that quickly or point fingers.
                    Good friends of mine don't go for a vaccination, and although I've  a different opinion I can accept that.

              Please don't compare tobacco smoking to Covid deaths. Even after gave examples like the WHO TOP ten ways to die annually over Covid yearly, people just ignore and blow it all off.

              TB, flu, smoking many others are still very contagious. Tobacco has killed 100 million in this world and 4 times greater than Covid the last aunnally. Yet the Vass majority don't move a hair. It's tying to make sense like God picking his favorite right religion to be with him in heaven.

                The point, which you seem unable to comprehend, is that there are limitations to where you can smoke based on its affect to others.  You don't have complete freedom to exercise your personal right to kill yourself by smoking.

                  No proof that vaccines work. All I know the speed of Covid deaths even in the slowest season.  Had double in speed since the vaccines roll outs and top vaccines speaker claim it will get ten times worst.

                I was talking about laws and freedom Paloma, not comparing deaths.
                But the example illustrates that our so-called "freedom" is connected with the freedom of our neighbours, the neighbourhood, state, country, world.

                There are rules in a society and thanks to those rules people die less often of throat cancer, lung cancer, traffic accidents, killings etc.
                To reduce the deaths of Coivid something had to be done. One of the things is vaccination and minimalize gatherings, wearing a mask etc.
                If you feel that your personal freedom is more important than to regain the freedom of a society then I ask you to think again.

                  When are a few countries with very minimal mask, no mandate for vaccines, and no lockdowns. With lower Covid deaths per capita than ones with lockdowns and discrimination against unvaxxers.

                  What countries would one find to be better over all for freedom and no dictatorship to chooses of?, mmmm..


                  The ones with no vaccines mandates , no lockdowns and far more freedom and less Covid deaths. Easy, no brainer.

                  Besides I care most for my family who are all on board and serve self first.

                  If others are happy fighting over with double speed deaths this year. Let the suicides continue shyrocking  and festivals of death celebrate depopulation. Billionaires are most please, even if they don't show it behind the dark masks when on camera.

          Weren't Jews injected with experimental drugs by the depraved Nazi government? Wasn't that a key part of the Nuremberg trials? That no government could ever again inject experimental shots into the bodies of unwilling citizens? Isn't that a basic human right?"

            That you see this as some new phenomenon is your just excluding so many scenarios that already exist along the same lines.

            As as for patriots, I'm not sure that applies to those only concerned with their own well-being.  It seems a patriot cares about their fellow citizens as much as themselves.

              Choice of home school, private, are options.  Religious refusal has been allowed for public schools, medical exception has been allowed.



              Choice, no one has to join the military.



              Choice, no one has to play on a sports team.

              Do you see what is absent in this scenario we are now talking about with Covid?

              Do you recognize what would be over-reach by the government that forces you to have proof of vaccine, or be exempted and ostracized?

              Like France's government now wants to do, jail people for not having it and going out in public?

              France doesn't have freedom and liberty, they have a totalitarian state that punishes and imprisons those who do not acquiesce to their demands.

              The people of France have no control over what goes on in their Nation, they are powerless to stop their government.  America is not far behind in this, like France, we have no control over the borders or getting our government to stop the millions pouring in every year.  We have no control over the government declaring an "emergency" that seems without end, stripping away our rights, such as landlords who cannot evict tenants for any reason, no matter what harm they have wrought.

              The American political 'elite' flouted the norms of governance and journalism. They misled the public about the origins of the virus and the true risk that it posed. They claimed unprecedented powers to impose untested strategies, with terrible collateral damage.

              Some Governors took it upon themselves to enact draconian restrictions on their people (while ignoring all of them and living the 'elite' lifestyle to its fullest).   As evidence of their mistakes mounted, they stifled debate by vilifying dissenters, censoring criticism, and suppressing scientific research.

              To Big to Follow the restrictions forced on the rest of America companies like Amazon and Walmart reaped billions in profits during the lockdowns while millions of small businesses were closed, many of them for good... displacing millions of workers, and many jobs forever lost.

              The panic was started by MSM "left" news sources. As the virus spread early last year, they highlighted the most alarming statistics and the scariest images, estimating a fatality rate 10 to 50 times higher than the flu.

              Just as they spread inflammatory information regarding police brutality and racism as if it was occurring on every street in America every minute that went by, they flamed the hysteria of this virus.

              So, there are those that recognize the hypocrisy they see in their political leaders and media, and there are those that buy into it.  Ignoring things like Obama's birthday party on Martha's Vineyard just the other day, where hundreds gathered... without wearing masks or social distancing.  That Delta variant we are all supposed to be going back under lack-down for doesn't apply to the elites, be they CA Governor or former President.

              Wonder why that is?

                Seems to me that the anti-vax crowd is choosing their own ostracization, while also making the claim their freedom should give them a right to endanger others.

                Who is talking about lock downs for delta.  Love to hear of someone saying that, but my thinking is you invented that just to feel persecuted.  Everyone at Obama's party had to be vaccinated and it was held outdoors in accordance with CDC guidelines.  The mask guidelines are for indoor settings currently - not that I'd expect you to know what the CDC says about current safety requirements.

                So it just seems like you're inventing violations of CDC guidelines to make yourself angry at them libs.

It's the same group that created the second world war. The writing is on the wall, the pattern and facts are clear and deep down every knows yet too afraid to ask or do. It written in my prior hubpages ten years ago. My nightmare shows something like 100 million people will die before turning on our owners and authorities. Maybe not as bad as the second world war.

      ... I'm sure they could calculate appropriate rates....

      Insurance companies do this all the time, doing calculations and squeezing statistics. They will either increase the rates or they will exclude Covid19 related expenses if not vaccinated.

      It is almost like a law of nature. And it is not black or white. There will be no all in our all out coverage.

      It leaves the vaccination decision to your free will. But the path to decision making goes through your wallet.

      Funny you mention Capitalism there... you do know how that works right?

      If there is a need, someone will fill that need, and make a profit.

      If a percentage of Insurance companies drop their customers for not getting the vaccine, those customers will just go to someone who will provide them the coverage they need.  That simple.

      The opening argument is unfair and prejudicial. I have not received the vaccine because I'm allergic to some of their ingredients. I'm allergic to medications that end in "ine". Some of the ingredients found in those meds are in the vaccines.

      To penalize me for something I have no control over is unfair, unfounded, and flat-out wrong.

      Don't be so judgmental.

        I was the first full-time sandsculptor 45 years ago. I made sure with new sculpture companies did not report accidents because our industry would have to pay 10% insurance extra. We got away with it until 15 years ago. Today insurance is so high in sandsculptor industry it's hardly worth anymore. Then started tiny housing communities in Latin America because I sense the collapse of our totally system. Luckily I'm living in an off grid community, right now in Canada.

                    air pollution is highly underestimated. Because you think that your air is ok if you live on the countryside with healthy food and greenery. But just like plastic particles, air particles travel fast distances.

    Hi Shauna, the covid vaccine is an MRNA vaccine and just contains a piece of the crown of the virus so that your body’s immune system will learn that it is a foreign antigen and so that if you do get the virus your immune system will attack it  so you won’t have to experience actually having the illness which can have such lethal consequences and affect your health adversely for the rest of your life. I’ve never heard that it belongs to a group of medications that end in “ine.” You might want to ask your doctor about this. I can’t take many medicines that are in this category as well. I’m very sensitive to them and have an adverse reaction when I do. But, I did get the vaccine for covid and I haven’t had any adverse reactions to it. I’m very glad that I did have it as I wouldn’t want to take the risk of getting inflammatory pneumonia, blood clots and long term damages to my health that this virus and its variants pose.Whatever you decide, good luck to you!

      Lora, my mom and I both have "ine" allergies. It was her doctor that told her she can't take the Moderna or Pfhizer vaccines. I looked up the ingredients in the aforementioned vaccines and both have ingredients that end in "ine".

      She was approved for the J & J vaccine, and has had it administered. However, the reports of blood clots has me very gun shy. So far, with my very strong immune system, and taking precautionary measures, I've not gotten sick throughout this whole pandemic. I haven't even had a cold. I choose to keep doing what I'm doing.
