I say if you dont have a good reason for not getting vaccinated, insurance does not cover the cost of any medical treatments you may incur as the result of getting covid. The cost comes out of pocket.

How about a surcharge for unvaccinated people? If an insurance provider has to accept an avoidable risk, they should be allowed to charge for it.

The Yankees and the Mets are giving away free tickets for those who get vaccinated at the ballpark.

From the other forum, it's looking like you will need to show proof of vaccination for IMLP.


I've been to a game and the yankees have split the seating into vaccinated and unvaccinated. Crazy to see half the crowd hived off to "danger zones" but I'm supportive.

Maybe say lower level seating for vaccinated, upper level, non-vaccinated. Do this in every arena and stadium.

That would be pretty shitty for those of us who cannot be vaccinated and rely on others to get the shot. Why should I be forced to sit with idiots and increase my risk of getting sick?

Well if you have a valid reason, then you could get an exemption. But really a medical reason is the only valid reason. Imo

I wouldn't be shocked if this is the route we wind up going. The government isn't going to require it... but the private companies that pay your medical bills very well might by hitting you hard on premiums. And to think, if we had a fully nationalized medical system this wouldn't be a thing... hah

My insurance rates are covering those that won't take the simple step of getting a vaccine. Where are the conservatives screaming, "Socialism"?
