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

40. It doesn't matter what you believe -

It is what the law says.

The law was expressly intended to prevent insurance companies from making access to health care contingent on making good health choices. "Health conditions" isn't a general guiding principle. Prices must be the same across the board, unless there is an express exception.The sole two exceptions which are health-related are smoking (a personal decision to engage in unhealthy behavor), and age (which inherently brings higher costs). The only other variables are not health related at all: geographic location, family v. individual, and level of coverage.
