Should the unvaccinated not be treated in the hospitals? Why?

The unvaccinated, just like smokers, should pay more for health insurance to cover their increased risk of long hospitalization.

The question of whether to treat should only arise in triage decisions. In those cases the unvaccinated should get a lower priority than the vaccinated.

@ElwoodBlues So in Israel where disproportionately more vaxed than unvaxed are hospitalized the vaxed should pay a higher rate or are you just being your usual ignorant self again.
@hippyjoe1955 You are [b]DEAD WRONG[/b] about Israel too. Here's the Israel data you keep ignoring. https://www.covid-datascience.com/post/israeli-data-how-can-efficacy-vs-severe-disease-be-strong-when-60-of-hospitalized-are-vaccinated

@ElwoodBlues Nope. Nice try though. Maybe if you had your eyes open once in a while you would see a few things beyond what you want to believe. Gibraltar is also having issues as is Iceland. Carry o son it would be a shame if you died of your ignorance.
@hippyjoe1955 Go ahead, show us your links to data from Iceland & Gibraltar. I won't hold my breath.

BTW, what is the population of Gibraltar? 33,000?? Why should we care about health care details in a town of 33,000?

BTW, your own home city of Edmonton has triple the population of Iceland. Why should anyone care about your imaginary numbers from such a small place?

@ElwoodBlues You are that ignorant? Seriously? Gibraltar has a 97% vax rate. Its infection rate a week ago had increased 2500%! Israel was adding .2% of its population per week to its covid case count. The US has had a 300% increase in cases year over year most since the beginning of the jabs. Do try to keep up son. You really are oblivious.

@ElwoodBlues in that case, non citizens should pay 10x as much since they don't pay in taxes... 🤔
@wildbill83 Are you basing your claims on some assumption that the US government pays for everyone's hospital stays? Insurance companies pay, not the government. Medicare is an insurance company funded by FICA payroll taxes, not the general treasury, so every Medicare recipient has paid into the system.
@hippyjoe1955 Gibraltar is too tiny for it to be worth my while checking your numbers; suffice it to say your track record with truth is awful. Since it's a simple cut & paste, I'll show you [b]again[/b] how wrong you are about Israel.

@ElwoodBlues Tee hee. you and your silly reports. Try looking at the actual numbers not the ones the pro vax crowd puts out. You do need to learn more about science.
