While they can’t charge you more, plenty of doctors just refused to see unvaccinated patients during Covid - even denying people critical medical care.
Based upon the pace of generally having over 200 cases reported per week since the week starting August 23 it it pretty much a foregone conclusion that the US will pass 6,000 cases before the end of the year. 7,000 seems very likely unless the pace slows down these last two months. 2026 probably won't exceed the 9,643 reported cases in 1991 but I wouldn't be surprised if we see that number exceeded in the next year or two unless MMR vaccination rates improve significantly.

So when does health insurance start charging antivaxxers more due to greater risk?

I know this is a joke, but this is actually illegal to do since Obamacare. Generally it's a good thing.

It is no joke that the rest of us are subsidizing this.

Improve education? ❌️ Deny Healthcare to those in need? 👍

These are the reported/counted "went to the Dr" cases. There are many alcoves where disease thieves and spreads and numbers are not reported.

Trump wanted to bring us back to the 1950s, but he brought us back to 1974 instead, just after Watergate.

Time to impeach RFK Jr. for creating an atmosphere of anti vax that led to this.
