The vaccine works. It's a medical fix for a disease that can kill.

Because it's real problem. Anyone with the truth that God gives us is vaccinated.

I don't want to pay higher premiums for the hospitalization and care and treatment of people who choose not to protect themselves. They should take responsibility for their free decisions . I also think sick pts unvaccianted patients should pay a higher copay

It is their personal choice and choices have consequences (besides getting the vaccinated sick)

I voted yes because if a unvaccinated person gets Covid and is hospitalized it is costly and will increase insurance rates for all of us, the vaccine is free ,insurance premiums will rise for everyone. I do think the unvaccinated people should pay higher premiums and the vaccinated should not .

If you have had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) or an immediate allergic reaction, even if it was not severe, to any ingredient in an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (such as polyethylene glycol), you should not get an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

No

Why should the un-vaccinated be bullied to do something we have the right to refuse. Talk about discrimination!!!! That's un-American.

People with blue eyes should also get better Auto insurance premiums, however my wife has Brown eyes, she should be given a discount, because she was wise enough to marry me. After all everything should be treated fairly.

Completely illogical analogy . Take responsibility for your choice to not vaccinate - if you get sick - you're responsible for it . I don't want to pay for you , your family and all the people your are infecting because of your decision . TAKE Responsibility for your actions and be a man , right?

They don’t charge for those that choose to be unvaccinated for any other vaccine, so this is discriminatory

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
