>We already have discrimination in medical care its called 'triage', unfortunately it doesn't involved removing care once granted.

Based on seriousness of the case, not really on whether it was preventable in the first place. For extremely limited resources like organs there is consideration of future risks, but that isn't really the same thing.

>We also charge smokers more for health care due to the burden they put on the system, yet another form of discrimination.

So let insurance adjusters charge different rates for vax/unvac'd people covered by insurance like they do for smokers.

> Based on seriousness of the case,....

incorrect its based on likely hood of survival. no point in wasting resources on a soon to be dead individual when you can save someone who actually has a chance.

The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) doesn't allow medical insurers to set premiums based on vaccination status.
