Supreme Court Halts Vaccine Mandate That Covered 80M Workers

I'd like to see insurers say "due to COVID our costs have gone up but you can get a discount if you're vaxxed." Increasing just for unvaxxed is probably hard but offering an incentive may work.

Where I work we have a mandate and it's like 98% compliance. A few have opted to go 100% remote so they can avoid the vaccine but practically nobody quit over this.

Wonder if that would be legal under ACA and other existing laws regulating health insurance. You can do it for tobacco use but can't do it for a whole lot else. They'd probably need Congressional approval and if that were possible, Congress always would have passed a mandate law instead of the Executive Branch trying to make their own law.
