Health insurance: Delta Airlines employees who refuse the vaccine will pay dearly! – Insurance for Pets

At Delta Airlines, anti-tax vehicles look grim. The American airline will indeed penalize its employees who are not vaccinated against Covid-19 by making them pay a surcharge of $ 200 per month on their health insurance, announced CEO Ed Bastian in an internal memo. « As of November 1, unvaccinated employees enrolled in Delta’s health insurance plan will be subject to a monthly supplement of $ 200, » said the boss of the company.

He specifies that « the average hospital stay because of the Covid-19 cost Delta $ 40,000 per person », adding that all the employees of the company who were infected and had to be hospitalized were « not fully vaccinated ». This additional contribution is intended to offset « the financial risk posed for the company by the decision not to be vaccinated », adds the manager. The company believes that since the US health authority, the FDA, fully approved Pfizer’s vaccine, « it’s time to get the shot. »

« We are confident in the safety and efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine, which has undergone the same rigorous review as other drugs that have been approved to treat cancer and heart disease, as well as other vaccines, » added the direction.

The United States fully authorized Pfizer / BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine on Monday, a move that allows some authorities and companies to impose vaccination without fear of legal recourse.
