Should employer-based health plans now jack up rates on the unvaccinated?

23. Yes. It's all here.

This was covered from head to toe and back again during the Obamcare debates.

The entire reason for the mandate require everyone to buy insurance was to insure that healthy people joined at the same rates as sick people because the entire premise of the law was to BAN insurance companies from pricing out people who are sick.

The law itself is over 20,000 pages. It's all here: https://www.congress.gov/111/plaws/publ148/PLAW-111publ148.pdf

Search for "‘‘Sec. 2704" or "discrimination based on health status."

I"m not trying to be snarky here at all. Honest. It's just that this is a such a basic tenet of the law, something hard fought for and won, that I'm a little shocked that this is a surprise to anyone on this site.

we literally cheered when it passed, and now many people here are lamenting that we can't "stick it to the sick people". (Mostly because they don't vote the way we want them to)

But let's come at it from a practical side. There are 900 health insurance companies in the US. Not one. Not a single one has raised rates on the unvaxxes, or even proposed it during this 18 month long pandemic.

Don't you think that at least one greedy bastard in that 900 would have found a way to jack up rates on the uninsured if they could?
