This info came to me FOAF and I don't have many details. One of the guys I work with has a friend who received a letter from Blue Cross/Blue Shield stating that if he didn't take the Covid "vaccination," his health insurance rates would be raised by $189 per month. I'm going to try to get more details on Monday, if there are any to be had. Just another blip on the radar for how all-out bizarre this is becoming.

Bossman contacted our insurance guy to check on ours and was told that our premiums actually went down this year! I don't think I've EVER heard of a health insurance company lowering premiums, so I won't believe it until I see the numbers.

Just got numbers for Aetna Gold Medicare Advantage for next year.
Premiums are half, out of pocket max is reduced and some improved coverages.

I was surprised

Dumb question I know but since I don’t have health insurance or a doctor how does your insurance company know if your vaxxed or not? If the vaccine is free no claim would be filed against your insurance for payment. If you go to a drive up clinic and get your card are you supposed to provide that to your insurance company?

Blue Cross threatened me for months. I uploaded my card. My dependent needs surgeries and I don't have time to screw with them or I would do it.

This is Blackmail!!!
I’m expecting Medicare coverage to be pulled from those who won’t get the jab.
What total Hypocrisy - the un vaxxed ILLEGALS get care and we don't? I'm really starting to hate this new communist country

Everyone is in 'the system". They know.

Wonder if someone got smart and started hiring all the nurses and doctors that walked out to a private concierge health care system. Cut out the government and insurance companies in some way.

Funny you said this… I told some friends a few days ago that we should open “Black Market Healthcare!” It would have to be completely “underground” for obvious reasons.

Well there are already several "concierge" doctors around here who are bypassing insurance, One even does home visits. I've resisted using them because I didn't want to pay a monthly fee but it may be getting time to look into it. The one that does home visits is a homeschool dad so the tax would not be an issue I"m sure. and y'all if I have yups excuse them.....left my glasses in the bedroom and I"ve got sleeping guests I'm trying keep Rufus from jumping all over so they'll wake up and play with him.....

Blue Cross/Blue Shield stating that if he didn't take the Covid "vaccination," his health insurance rates would be raised by $189 per month.

Lets open the door all the way....

Higher premiums if your overweight

if you drink

if you use tobacco

unprotected sex

this list could get very long, very long indeed.

In the past, smokers did get charged a higher premium. That question wasn't on the application when I enrolled last year.

Not FOAF... this is a happenin' thang.

Delta is a large employer. I'm wondering if the guy in the OP also works for a large employer and if the reason my company's rates aren't being raised is due to the fact that our employee base isn't large enough to fall under the vax mandate.

I'll cancel the insurance, simple. Never use it anyway, wasted money.

Problem is I do use mine. If they raise my rates too much, I won't be able to afford it. I'm barely scraping by now because of the cost and that's with my employer paying half.

I bet BCBS goes crazy in Alabama, our corrupt one party system has rigged it to where there is only 1 provider.

There's pretty much only one provider in my AO, as well. It's BS.

Several large corporations started to do this
That’s cheaper than unemployment for coercion on the jab I would think

Just waiting for them to tell me.
I am trying my best to boycott or at least limit to a bare minimum every company and business that mandates and promotes this crap. Blue Cross is no exception. I cant change my enrollment until the new year. I will be cancelling and if I still have a job that pays enough maybe go back to Christian Medishare if they haven’t gone sour on this mandate crap too.

My son works for Progressive. He just found out they will be keeping out an extra $25 a pay for health insurance for people that aren’t vaccinated. Not sure when it takes affect.

Are you able to find out who carries his health insurance? Be interesting to see how many different carriers are doing this. Although I expect they will all jump on the bandwagon at some point.

So here's a question: IIRC, health insurance companies stopped asking people if they smoke around the time Obamacare came into existence, which brings the thought that maybe they were no longer allowed to charge higher premiums for smokers. Is it even legal for them to charge higher premiums for the unvaxxed? If it isn't, how can they legally do this? Although, if it isn't legal, it soon will be, I'm sure.

Funny how they're tracking our vax status. Wonder if they're going to start tracking our erectile dysfunction status too. Or maybe our boob implants or toupee's. What about our anal leakage and adult diapers.
Royal bunch of arseholes these people are.

Empty threat when the doctors and hospitals won't treat the unvaxxed.

Prepare to be a person non grata in every imaginable way.
I am on medicare. I am seriously considering cancelling my part A coverage (hospital). I don't see how we unvaxxed can trust any hospital or doctor now for any help on anything. Frankly, I think this is part of the plan, millions are now going to die for lack of care on top of the jabberdoo culling.
