> paying insurance

Should vaccine refusal then result in increased premiums, or increased coinsurance for covid-related care? How many people would make the choice if they had to bear even part of the expected value of their increased medical costs themselves?

Maybe, but that is for insurance companies to decide. Just like they decide rates for smokers, obese people, etc.

Although I don't know of any insurance companies that have rates for people that have not undergone certain medical procedures. That sounds unethical to me.

It's a cost benefit analysis. Why is it unethical? Why should the vaccinated population pay for unvaccinated welfare queens?
