There’s a great idea in Letters to the Editor this morning in the Denver Post.

 It’s sorta like what I was ranting about many years ago.

If you(R) are so gung-ho about a war in Afghanistan, then YOU go fight it and pay for it! Don’t drag me/us into your bullshit war...

Well, this is along the same lines. If you are to stupid/gullible/ignorant/stubborn to avoid getting vaccinated, then YOU should pay the consequences. Higher insurance premiums and/or you(R) pay the hospital bill for your stupidity. 

Show proof of vaccination or pay higher premiums. Makes a lot of sense for those of us who don’t wanna pay for you ignorant/gullible decisions.

Since about 97% of the COVID patients now entering the hospitals are unvaccinated, perhaps insurance companies should significantly raise the unvaccinated’s premiums.

The vaccinated who are taking the pandemic seriously are staying out of the hospital, yet their health insurance premiums will be used by the insurance companies to spread out the costs of paying for the huge bills being racked up by the unvaccinated.

Make no mistake about it; all of our future insurance premiums will go up as a result of yet another unnecessary wave of hospital admissions by the unvaccinated.

The vaccines are proven to be safe, effective and free, so there is no excuse for this vaccination reluctance. It is time to stop putting all of our time and enormous resources to convince the unvaccinated to get vaccinated. Perhaps a hefty insurance premium increase for those unwilling to get vaccinated will do the trick.
