It's federal law that group health plans can't charge more for one employee than for another employee, including but not limited to pre-existing conditions and lifestyle choices. Otherwise companies could charge gay employees more money because they are 10x more likely to contract HIV/AIDS, and diabetic employees are 20x more likely to require extensive medical treatment for complications arising from their diabetes and poor eating habits. The real question is why hasn't every Delta employee quit working for that asshole. Shut that piece of shit airline down permanently! |

That wouldnt be legal here as its discrimination. Imagine the amount of tears people would cry if theyd have to pay a premium for being mentally unhealthy, fat, smokers or had some sexual fetish thats more dangerous than others. |

[link to www.nytimes.com (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69959475 Starting Nov. 1, Delta employees who have not received the vaccine will have to pay an additional $200 per month to remain on the company’s health plan. It is part of a series of requirements that unvaccinated workers will face in the months to come, the airline’s chief executive, Ed Bastian, said in a memo to staff. “We’ve always known that vaccinations are the most effective tool to keep our people safe and healthy in the face of this global health crisis,” he said. “That’s why we’re taking additional, robust actions to increase our vaccination rate.” Insurance is based on the law of large numbers. You need the healthy ones to outnumber the sick ones to pay for the ones that can't work with higher premiums. |

I agree but our company does charge $50 per month extra if you are a smoker and want the corporate health plan. So it’s not illegal in our state- for smoking anyway. |

Im just saying over here thats illegal. and its weird to think how the US government cares so much about the climate and other discrimination, but not this. |
