I think a huge factor will be how many employers, colleges, etc. are now willing and legally able to require vaccination.

I want to know when insurance companies will start adjusting rates.

Already happening here in South Africa. https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/discovery-warned-higher...

Note that they're NOT mandating/requiring vaccination (which may turn out to violate constitutional rights here) -- it's still the customer's choice -- but you're gonna pay more, just like if you smoke tobacco.

At least in the US, it would be illegal for them to do so under the ACA.

That seems to be about making people pay for covid treatment, and unvaccinated people disproportionately requiring treatment.
