Interesting, illegal under HIPAA rules but possible precedent under the Affordable Care Act? With Obamacare: > Although insurers can’t charge more for health status, they can charge up to 50% more for smoking status [1]. Under HIPAA: > What are HIPAA's protections from discrimination? > ... you may not be charged more than similarly situated individuals based on any health factors. [2] Vaccines are a health status, I would think this move by Delta is illegal, but Covid Emergency Powers has given the green light for all types of discrimination and broken laws.
