Delta to charge unvaxxed employees extra $200 a month for health insurance

[Lefticle]

Looks like I need to neg OP again.

Ugh.

[greenleaf]

So your life is worth $2400 a year?

[PepperedAngus]

From "healthcare is a human right"

To "we should deny healthcare to people who disagree with me"

Liberal mental gymnastics at their finest.

[Jayarbie]

Cool, then people over 65 should be covering 98% of healthcare costs.

That's exactly why seniors are on Medicare instead of private insurance.

[Jayarbie]

Now do BMI scaling as well

Charging more for obesity would be fine, but BMI is far too flawed as a measure of it.

[gun-G]

Cost more, charge more. It's like charging more for smokers, which my health plan also does.

Ins: did you get vaccine?
Ans: No
Ins: You are getting higher premiums cuz of potential covid


Ins: Does your boyfriend wear a condom when fukking you in the azz?
Jay Barbie: No, no he doesn't
Ins: You are getting higher premiums cuz of potential aids

[JoshSP1985]

Hopefully this is the new normal.

I'm okay with this as long as they charge $500 more a month if you're fat and another 500 if you smoke and another 500 if you consume alcohol regualrly.

[JoshSP1985]

I thought liberals wanted free government provided healthcare for everybody?

Are you surprised they're hypocrits?

[kcadrenalin]

Black: Your Premium is higher because of the hereditary health issues commonly found in African Americans.
Gay: Your Premium is higher because of the increased risk of aids.
Trans: Your Premium is higher due to the increased risk of suicide and/or self harm.
Obese: Pay up fatty. Your kind is overwhelming hospitals.
Contact Sports: You gotta pay more due to injury risks.
Motor Sports: See above.
Homeless: If you could pay we would have to charge you more. You are unhealthy as fuk.
Smoke dope or do drugs: You pay the max premium.
Drink: You gotta pay more.
Antifa: Can't insure you. Too risky.
BLM: See above.


This is fun. I think we should roll with this.

[i3oosted]

Libs: Free health insurance is a right!

Libs: I want you to pay MORE for health insurance!

[bortass]

Lol man this is getting ridiculous. Is delta doing it directly, or the insurance provider? In any case, I mean they can charge for what they want, but it really is a big F you to the people who are not vaccinated. It may not be forced, but they are going down every avenue to coerce people to get it. Last I checked, not many minorities are vaxxed (including myself). NYc has already begun segregation through vax lol. Oh well, we will see how this plays out.

This is really about what the employee pays as their share of the monthly premiums. Delta is saying that if you don't have the vaccine (made up numbers time) we'll only cover 600 dollars of your health insurance instead of 800. So the employees will see an extra 200 bucks a month come out of their check.

This is a free market capitalism concept, wtf?

It's not a free market when uncle sam forces everyoner to have it

[Cchrisrun]

Are they going to start charging overweight employees extra also?

This. The class action brahs salivating right now.

[BFast55]

Discrimination based on personal medical decisions is not free market capitalism. Unless, you think whites only drinking fountains is free market capitalism too.

[BFast55]

Cost more, charge more. It's like charging more for smokers, which my health plan also does.

So you're cool with them charging higher premiums when you start to gain weight?

Ironically, this will disproportionately affect black employees since urban blacks re one of the least vaccinated groups.

And before someone brings up smoking insurance premiums smoking is not a medical decision it's a lifestyle decision. Taking a vaccine is a medical decision.

[hackerwacker]

Now you see why leftists want government run single provider health care. It's not about altruism or efficiency, it's about control. Don't ever be convinced otherwise. You think these people wouldn't completely deny health services to all unvaxinated if they had the ability?

Hell, the only unvaxxed people I know had previously recovered from COVID. Mandating vaxxines as a blanket policy without respect to people's ability (medically) to safely get one, or whether or not they are already immune is just terrible policy.

I forgot who said this but the quote goes something like this: "Tyranny could be defined as the willing and purposeful disregard for nuance."

[GreatOldOne]

Itt Delta is liberal.

[GreatOldOne]

It would work better to hand out small refunds randomly through the year if you get vaccinated until we are through the pandemic.

[BFast55]

Itt Delta is liberal.

If they are gonna start discriminating again, the least they could do is return to the good ole days of only hiring young, unmarried, attractive stewardesses.

Lol.

I think if they want to change behaviors, then it would just work better to give a positive, intermittent reward...like a random refund..

I believe cognitive psychologists have found that works the best, and it avoids the animosity. So, every month give people a 1/6 chance of a partial refund on your premiums. (Edit..if got vaccinated/booster)

[Scarrdbutsmartr]

Itt Delta is liberal.

Delta walks the tight rope between both parties. Their political donations are almost split perfectly from 50/50 between Republicans and Democrats.

A LARGE part of their staffing is liberal/alternative lifestyle and subsequently, from an internal policy perspective, they tend to be more liberal.

Oh, OK. This must be due to their liberal part then...the part that believes in universal Healthcare.

Not their stingy conservative part, which is penny pinching and believes strongly in personal responsibility. (Not to mention facts over feels)

Definitely a better solution than potentially getting sued over privacy or discrimination.

Guessing this brilliant move was hastily dreamed up by their PR department. I guess they felt like the FDA approving one of the shots, will give them license to do this.

[gun-G]

As a side note, since the rona is so deadly why the high health ins premiums? If I get it I'm dead in about 5-7 days??

I mean, this stuff= BAD NEWS.

It's a hell of a lot cheaper than cancer for the ins co's. You'd think they'd be happy I got it as opposed to some long drawn out disease.

It's not like they have to pay for the casket

Please, can I have another heaping helping lib posturing?

[HurfDurf]

Yes. If you are overweight, obese or morbidly obese the cost should rise exponentially. Same with smokers. A lot of insurance companies charge more for smokers why not increase for fattys too? It's a business and should be free to choose who they insure and don't and adjust price accordingly.

Also BMI is a failed system, doesn't account for swole folk.
