    Default 82% of private insurance plans won't cover COVID expenses anymore: KFF

    This should worry every single Conservative anti-vaxxer because y'all are going to have to pay the full cost of your inevitable COVID treatment, which averages out to about $40,000:

    Early in the pandemic, many insurers waived cost-sharing requirements for people hospitalized with COVID-19, and the vast majority of people enrolled in fully-insured plans would have had their out-of-pocket costs waived in such circumstances. With safe and effective vaccines now widely available, this new analysis finds that that 72% of the two largest insurers in each state and DC (102 health plans) are no longer waiving these costs, and another 10% of plans are phasing out waivers by the end of October.

    Good luck finding an affordable health insurance plan that covers COVID treatment.

    $40,000 is more money than most Conservatives will ever see in their lifetimes.

    They are still covering their contractual obligations regarding COVID-19, the title is incorrect.

    I totally agree!

    I bet you that there will be two different tiers of insurance plans offered during open enrollment this year; plans for vaccinated people, and more expensive plans for unvaccinated people.

    If insurance companies require a vaccination in order to enroll in a plan, that will probably do more to get people vaccinated than any mandate from the government.

    No worries here. Unlike most libs I have a career that GovCo has deemed critically necessary for society to survive, and as such my business has flourished during the China Pandemic.

    That's some good news, these anti-vaxxers are driving up the cost of healthcare, for their care in a hospital for covid treatment?!! Can you imagine the cost of a double lung transplant or weeks/months on a venerator?!! I would not insure these dumb-asses either?!!

    If I ran one of these major insurance companies, I wouldn't even want to fuck around with COVID at all...

    I'd require vaccination to get a health care plan.

    I wouldn't offer any health care plans to unvaccinated people.
