Should Hospitals have the right to turn away Covid patients from those who have chosen to be unvaccinated?

Why should someone who makes the decision to not be vaccinated take a bed and be treated from someone who has taken precautions and had a breakthrough case?
Shouldn't the unvaccinated just stay home and deal with this virus on their own?

I'm not sure about that. Lots of people end up in the hospital for making what are viewed as dumb decisions. One example of this is someone who crashes their car while drunk driving. Heck, if go hiking and overestimate my abilities and break a leg on a harder trail, it could be argued that I was injured due to my own questionable decision making.
@NotJamieM According to those who say they have the freedom to not be vaccinated, shouldn't people also have the freedom to drive drunk?

@NotJamieM yes but if you break your leg it would be a accident even if you are pushing yourself. The unvaccinated people have made a choice that not only affects them but possibly anyone else who they breathe on. You probably won't hurt anyone if you go to the hospital for a broken leg by breathing on them.
