>>>In practice I would probably try other means first to heighten vacc level: ask for tests more often but refuse to offer them for free to unvaccinated, cover only 10-20% of any COVID treatment cost for unvaccinated grownups, as it was their choice to heighten their personal risk by not vaccinating(with some exceptions for those unable to vaccinate for medical reasons - those have to checked in advance). Alternative ways to monetize possible, like a monthly discount for vaccinated people in health insurance cost. More testing/research on Corona infection in kids compared with risks of vaccination would be nice as seen from this keyboard.

>>Will you also be advocating for punishing fat people for their poor diet choices? Or people who drink alcohol? Or meat eaters for their cholesterol and fat intake? I'm sure you will punish those that do not exercise regularly since lack of regular exercise is a major contributor to health problems. I think you need to define the ideal man and then anyone not living up to that standard needs to be punished until they change their errant ways. After all, "it was their choice to heighten their personal risk". Down that road is the slippery slope. Be careful what you wish for.

>If you don't buckle the seat belt when in your car, personal accident damage pay will be cut substantially, even if the car you are riding was without guilt or blame for the accident. Same principle - and I am ok with it.

>I would prefer health insurance *not* to cover anything possible without regard to the lifestyle the person follows. In countries with state run global health insurance I'd argue for larger part of taxes on tobacco, alcohol and sugar to go directly into the health insurance budget, In countries with private or at least several competing insurance companies discounts for special groups seem better than blanket coverage. If I prefer not to be kept alive when in vegetable state - why should I pay for those deciding to run up ridiculous costs in the last 1 - 5 years ?

>Or to stay on Corona: Some politicians already argue for forced vaccination - not only for health workers. I think keeping that decision personal, but with the added cost kept personal as well, is a better compromise than either forced vaccination or total freedom of choice with socialised cost.

>And yes, I prefer a *small* personal fee for seeing the doctor, as this might cut down on sick leaves after heavy partying, motivate for better practices to stay healthy and give doctors more time for more important cases.

Since obesity is one of the major contributing factors to poor outcomes with Covid infection do you advocate that obese people should pay their own recovery costs, after all, "it was their choice to heighten their personal risk"? It's a simple question Thomas.
