It isn’t enough to require hospital workers to take a vaccine regardless of whether it makes sense for them. Even their spouses must be vaxxed. The Blaze reports from Louisiana:
Ochsner Health, the largest hospital system in the state, in August mandated that all of its employees get vaccinated or lose their jobs. Now, the company sent a notice to employees informing them that a health insurance surcharge of $100 per pay period will be inflicted on any employee with an unvaccinated domestic partner or spouse who is covered under the company health insurance plan, a letter sent to employees stated.
Leftist congresscritter Ted Lieu (D-CA), never one of the brightest bulbs on the tree, takes this opportunity to inadvertently make the case for rejecting socialized medicine:
If you are going to engage in riskier actions that increase health care costs and health care burdens on all of us, then you should be the one paying for the increased risk. https://t.co/XmIbyxYe5r

This is not about health, or no one would twist arms to make those with natural immunity get the vaccine. Coercion is an end in itself for people of a certain political persuasion. Squeezing out extra money is the main point for others.
