And don't want people to suffer because of this.
I understand this line of thinking, but think it's flawed. You have to be okay with everyone else suffering instead (due to increases in their own healthcare costs to cover for those who use the healthcare system more) and you aren't able to use cost to influence better healthcare choices.
There has to be a way to hold people accountable to the actual consequences of their own health choices while also being sensitive to those who are sick through no obvious fault of their own.
- hef19898 5y agoOh, that other people are suffering is the frustrating part. And that the vaccination status apparently isn't playing a role during triage (actual triage not the postponing of planned surgeries) is something I don't really get. Well I get it, kind of. Still, I hoped it would be different.
- nradov 5y agoShould we also hold people accountable for drinking alcohol? It's a leading cause of death and chronic disease. How about for eating too much sugar? Or engaging in high risk sports like boxing?
- galaxyLogic 5y agoI think we should counter-balance that with people's right to privacy. Does anybody have the right to know if I'm eating too much candy or not? With Covid it's different because while I may die from too much sugar that will not kill anybody else. Whereas if I don't get vaccinated I'm putting other people at risk, I'm putting the whole society at risk, of spreading Covid and allowing Covid to mutate to new ever more dangerous variants. If Irefuse to take the Covid vaccination I am "aiding the enemy". Covid is the enemy. But alcohol maybe yes. Drinking and driving puts other people's lives at risk too. If you are convicted of drinking while driving I think your premiums should go up, I assume they do.
