    The financial cost of remaining unvaccinated ?against COVID-19 is rising
    as more companies and health insurance providers are now proposing
    insurance surcharges and other healthcare costs as a tool to drive up >vaccination rates.
    Such measures have been backed by proponents of universal healthcare and >programs like Medicare for All, even though such policies are, in
    theory, meant to offer all Americans healthcare at little to no cost >regardless of their medical status.
    Elisabeth Rosenthal, the editor-in-chief of Kaiser Health News, has
    argued unvaccinated people should be charged higher insurance rates as a >penalty in The New York Times, CNN and MSNBC. Yet she is a proponent of >universal healthcare, writing in a New York Times op-ed in May 2019 that
    the point of healthcare “is to treat patients, not to buttress the economy.” >Arthur Caplan, a prominent medical ethicist, said in an August interview
    with WBUR that unvaccinated people should “pay a financial penalty” or >otherwise be held liable for the cost of avoidable treatment. Yet during
    the height of the Obamacare debate in 2010, he co-authored an academic
    paper arguing that healthcare is a “right” and universal health
    insurance “makes sense.”
    Democratic California Rep. Ted Lieu invoked criticism on social media
    when he tweeted Oct. 2 that unvaccinated people “engage in riskier
    actions that increase health care costs and health care burdens on all
    of us,” and in turn “should be the one paying for the increased risk.”
    Ted Lieu
    @tedlieu
    If you are going to engage in riskier actions that increase health care
    costs and health care burdens on all of us, then you should be the one
    paying for the increased risk.

    Lieu, a supporter of Medicare for All, appears to be contradicting a
    basic premise of universal healthcare. The New Republic, a liberal
    outlet, noted in an article opposing additional financial costs on >unvaccinated people that under a universal healthcare system,
    “individual health care use shouldn’t determine how much anyone pays
    into the system.” (RELATED: Progressives Applaud Alabama Doctor Who
    Refuses To Treat Patients Unvaccinated Against COVID-19)
    Some critics have compared penalties for unvaccinated patients,
    including denying them treatment altogether, to targeting patients with >health conditions such as obesity, a group that almost certainly would
    use more healthcare services.
    The relationship between health conditions like COVID-19 and obesity are
    not unfounded, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) >concluded in a March study that 78% of people hospitalized due to
    COVID-19 were overweight or obese.
    Lieu’s office did not comment at the time of publication to a request
    from the Daily Caller. His office didn’t respond to questions about the
    Body Mass Index (BMI) sliding scale and whether financial costs for the >unvaccinated is comparable to similar costs for obese people.
    As supporters of universal healthcare begin to turn on unvaccinated
    people, companies and health insurance providers are also moving forward
    with plans to impose insurance surcharges and other financial costs.
    Delta Airlines announced in late August that unvaccinated employees will
    face a $200 premium surcharge per month on their health insurance.
    Airlines have been among the most aggressive companies in targeting >unvaccinated employees.

    is unvaccinated, The Times-Picayune reported.
    JPMorgan Chase announced Monday that unvaccinated employees will not
    only be required to pay higher payroll contributions next year for
    health insurance, but will also be banned from business travel, Reuters >reported.
    At the onset of the pandemic, most private insurance providers waived >cost-sharing for patients under their plans. Around 88% of insured
    people in November 2020 had their out-of-pocket costs waived if they
    were hospitalized for COVID-19, according to the Kaiser Family
    Foundation (KFF).
    But vaccines have become more easily available in recent months, and
    more than 70% of insurance providers in turn no longer waive
    out-of-pocket costs for COVID-19 treatment, the KFF concluded.
    Companies and insurance providers are likely willing to place additional >financial costs on unvaccinated people because much of the cost for
    COVID-19 treatment comes from that group. A CDC report in August found
    that the hospitalization rate of unvaccinated people infected with
    COVID-19 is 29 times that of vaccinated people. (RELATED: ‘The Only

    “Now that COVID-19 is largely preventable for most adults and employers
    are pushing people really hard to get vaccinated, it makes a lot less
    sense for those employers to be giving people who do get infected a
    break,” said KFF Health Care Marketplace director Matthew Rae.
    Some experts also dismissed criticism that financial costs for the >unvaccinated are similar to charging more for people with obesity or
    other underlying health conditions.
    “Your chronic illness isn’t going to jump to the person in the next
    cubicle,” said Kenneth Campbell, an assistant professor at the Tulane
    School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.
    “This is a wakeup call for people to get vaccinated,” he continued.
    “We’re talking about bad decisions in terms of not getting vaccinated
    and these are the consequences.”
    Polling data indicates Americans are split on whether companies and
    insurance providers should be able to charge unvaccinated people more in >health insurance premiums in order to cover for potential associated
    medical costs from contracting COVID-19.
    In a Harris poll conducted in August, 51% of respondents said they
    oppose charging unvaccinated people more compared to 49% who said they >support the idea. Among those polled, 61% of vaccinated respondents said
    they support the idea while 27% of unvaccinated respondents said the same.

    Shame on andrew, look at his red face.

    LIE.

    The color of my face in **not** visible here on USENET nor is the
    color of my face red for those who can see me.

    He is trying to pull a fast one. His scripture bit is found among these:

    '14 Bible verses about Spiritual Hunger'

    Such are the lies coming from the lying pens of the http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (Genesis 25:32) commentators.

    That which is "spiritual" is independent of time so that there
    would've been no reference to "now."

    Therefore, the LORD is referring to physical hunger here instead of
    the spiritual "hunger and thirst for righteousness" elsewhere in
    Scripture.

    Indeed, physical hunger can **not** coexist with physical thirst
    because the latter results in the loss of saliva needed for physical
    hunger.

    It is when we hunger for food "now" (Luke 6:21a) that we are able to
    eat food "now."

    No such time constraints exist for "spiritual hunger."

    Moreover, the perspective of Luke 6:21a through the eyes of a
    physician (i.e. Dr. Luke) would be logically expected to be physical
    instead of spiritual.

    All glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD for His compelling you to unwittingly demonstrate your ever worsening cognitive condition which
    is tragically a consequence of His cursing (Jeremiah 17:5) you more
    than ever.

    Laus DEO !

    +++

    someone eternally condemned & ever more cursed by GOD perseverated:
    (in a vain attempt to refute posts about being wonderfully hungry)

    Psalms
    81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: >open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

    Indeed, receiving a mouthful (Psalm 81:10) of manna from GOD will only
    make His http://HeartMDPhD.com/Redeemed want even more, so that we're
    even http://bit.ly/wonderfully_hungrier with all glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD.

    Laus DEO !

    Proverbs
    13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of >the wicked is in need.

    Indeed, the righteous know to be satisfied (Luke 6:21a) with an omer
    (Exodus 16:16) of manna, while the wicked need (Proverbs 13:25) this
    knowledge as evident by their eating until they are full (i.e.
    satiated).

    Joel
    2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of
    the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
    people shall never be ashamed.

    Indeed, an omer (32 ounces per Revelation 6:6) of manna is plenty
    (Joel 2:26) with all glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD and to
    the shame of you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned.

    Laus DEO ! !

    Psalms
    107 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

    Indeed, being filled (Psalm 107:9) with an omer (Exodus 16:16) of
    manna is a Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6) thing while being satiated (i.e.
    full) is evil.

    Acts
    14:17 "Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by >giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
    your hearts with food and gladness."

    In the interim, you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned, will
    never be satisfied (Acts 14:17) because you are ever more cursed
    (Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD.

    Does andrew's "definition" agree with scripture? Let's see in 1 John:

    Actually, sin is **not** defined in 1 John 1:8-10

    John wrote this to christians. The greek grammer (sic) speaks of an ongoing >> status. He includes himself in that status.

    John was a Jew instead of a Greek so there is really no reason to
    think that Greek grammar is relevant here.

    1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
    not in us.

    1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, >> and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is >> not in us.

    John also wrote earlier at John 5:14 that LORD Jesus commands:

    "Now stop sinning or something worse may happen to you." (John 5:14)

    And, indeed, your being eternally condemned (Mark 3:29) & ever more
    cursed (Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD, as evident by your ever worsening
    cognitive deficits, is really worse.

    Now again, here's how to really stop sinning as LORD Jesus commands
    (John 5:14):

    https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.bible.prophecy/2-Qpn-o81J4/ldGubKEZAgAJ

    While wonderfully hungry ( http://bit.ly/Philippians4_12 ) in the Holy
    Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy 8:3) me to hunger right now (Luke
    6:21a), I again pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that GOD continues to curse
    (Jeremiah 17:5) you, who are eternally condemned (Mark 3:29), more
    than ever in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

    Laus DEO ! ! !

    Again, this is done in hopes of convincing all reading this to stop
    being http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (2 Kings 6:29) where all are in
    danger of becoming eternally condemned (Mark 3:29) just as had
    happened to Ananias and Sapphira and more contemporaneously to Bob

    Again, the LORD did strike down http://bit.ly/Bob_Pastorio on Fool's
    day just 9+ years ago:

    Again, this is done ...
