Anti-vaxxers should be charged premiums for health care insurance

Editor,
An open letter to Danielle Smith:
I am not going to disagree with your decision to charge for certain vaccines but I have a better idea.
Treat vaccines like automobile insurance. You have the choice not to carry collision insurance on your car (unless financed). You back into a fire hydrant and do not have insurance so you are responsible for all damages. Your friend paid for collision insurance and had the same accident so his insurance company paid the bills.
Do the same with all vaccines. If you have bought insurance (the vaccine) and get ill from the disease you were infected with, your doctor bills and all other medical expenses are covered because you bought insurance (the vaccine).Â
Now if you refused to pay for the insurance (the vaccine) you are responsible for “all” medical expenses related to the disease. Very simple. Pay now or pay later.Â
This seems only fair because I am getting tired of hearing how measles infections are on the rise and the “group(s)” that don’t believe in vaccines are wandering around infecting any people that come in contact with them. They don’t give a damn about anyone else but their right to refuse vaccines. Â
I know for a fact they have gone to a doctor or we wouldn\’t know how many have measles.Â
Bottom line – I will buy a vaccine for the flu, COVID, etc. but there is no way in hell the vaccine deniers should be able to get health coverage for something that could have been prevented or have less severity.
Think about it. It would free up doctor visits or make some money for the doctors.

Yeah …. it won’t happen .. but I throughly enjoyed reading this and can’t fault the logic …
I get paid more than đź’µ$100 to đź’µ$500 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily đź’µ$20k from this without having online working skills . Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site….

here is some more “logic.” if you hurt yourself playing sports, doing anything higher risk than the basic movements of contemporary life, you pay. got lost/stranded hiking in the back country – you pay. hurt yourself rock climbing, you pay. fall off your bike, you pay.
health issue from consuming added sugar, you pay; health because you don’t exercise and/or have a bad diet, you pay.
indeed, let us use the health system to set, apply, enforce, control how we all live.
and, for writer, and like-minded, how does one justify torturing sentient life for stuff?
How about adverse reaction/ death from vaccine? Who pays?
