You pay higher rates if you smoke. I don’t see the issue.

It's the conservative thing to do.

"You pay higher rates if you smoke. I don’t see the issue."

Alexander Hamilton was so right when he said, "People get the government they deserve." You deserve this current government.

When when they start shutting off our cell service because we are not vaccinated you will be on this forum commenting "Start tour own phone company."

Pathetic.

That’s life insurance not health insurance - if we start down this path with health insurance, people could be charged based on their BMI, etc

Do homosexual men pay more? How about women of childbearing age?

These are probably the two most costly demographic cohorts in any group health plan.

First of all, Smoking is a "positive act" - something you choose to engage in.

Secondly, the Federal Government, over the last 30 years, has written the ADA to very clearly include transmissive diseases like HIV, TB, STDs, etc... The Leftist central planners clearly were thinking about their own social causes, but as such, they had to write the law with language which would clearly include COVID.

ADA.GOV

Also, its a basic legal concept that you may not discriminate against someone "ex ante" because they may cause a problem in the future

Also, what will Delta's response be when it turns out that 80% or more of the employees receiving higher insurance premiums are black?

What if you’re naturally immune, i.e., had the virus and recovered?

There are dozens of issues, Stevie Wonder, but lets just focus on one.

The vaccines are relatively new and we do not yet know their long term effects on human health. Making decision at this time is arbitrary and capricious, closer to witch-craft than science.

Does this go for being obese? Ride a motorcycle? How about activity like rock climbing, playing football? How about drinking alcohol?

If vaccinated people can spread the virus, why are only the unvaccinated being harassed? What if the unvaccinated don’t have COVID19 and are unable to infect anyone else?
