Covid Chatter

 I sat and watched N-TV news this afternoon (German commercial news network) and they talked up this subject that the Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek brought up.

Holetschek said....if you are a non-vax kind of guy.....you ought to be paying more for your healthcare insurance.

I sat there for a while and thought about it.  Then I came to the idea that I felt he was half-way right.

You see....why stop on just non-vax people?  If you smoke cigarettes or chew tobacco......your health insurance ought to be 25-percent more per year.  

Hard drinking folks?  Conduct the liver test and if you are a serious drinker of alcohol.....hike that guy's health insurance by 25-percent a year.

Weigh the guy every six months.  If he/she is 30 pounds over their normal weight.....hike the cost of the health insurance by 25-percent a year. 

If you have unusual sport activities.....jumping out of planes or swimming in shark infested waters.....hike that health insurance up by 25-percent a year.

If you eat meat....your health insurance ought to go up by 25-percent a year.

If you have really weird sexual habits.....your health insurance ought to go up by 25-percent a year.

If you tend to drive over 160 kph a good bit (100 mph)....your health insurance ought to go up by 25-percent a year.

If you show any drug habit (LSD, meth, etc), your health insurance ought to go up by 25-percent a year.

Based on this lifestyle thing.....we might get people to paying 250-percent of normal health insurance, and lead people back to pretty boring and dull-eating habit lives.

In fact, if you swear that you are only eating roots, berries, and herbs.....I could see cutting your health insurance by 35-percent.  If you live under a bridge and consume only river water....maybe you ought to get a 8-percent discount on your health insurance.  

Me cynical about this whole non-vax thing?  If you have a fully vaxed-up guy (with a booster shot) and he still gets Covid....bad Covid....and goes into the hospital for serious treatment (ICU)....then I'd like to know the medical history to the guy.  If he's got really bad numbers on Vitamin D....I'd like to know why.
