Responses:

Could insurance companies refuse to pay for treatments that a child needs if the ilnness is due to the parents deciding to not vaccinate? -- nm - Beaker Jun 13, 08:03 5
- I doubt it, and I don't think it's a particularly good idea either. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 08:06 3
  - They could jack the hell out of their premiums, though. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 08:10 2
    - ahh, yeah more likely that. Start having a vaccination yes/no question like they do for smokers -- nm - Beaker Jun 13, 08:13
    - That would make more sense. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 08:12
- "Let them die." -- nm - Ken Watanabe Jun 13, 08:05
Yes. -- nm - Shaun Jun 13, 07:57 1
- agreed -- nm - Beaker Jun 13, 07:58
Why would they do that? Doesn't it just mean more $ for them down the road? -- nm - Spawn Jun 13, 07:57 4
- "Hey! your unvaccinated kid may have small pox - here, sit in the waiting room with these dozen other children!" -- nm - decline Jun 13, 08:01 2
  - winning -- nm - pediatrician Jun 13, 08:02 1
    - Right? -- nm - Malpractice lawyers Jun 13, 08:04
- they may have patients who leigitmately can't get vacinations and would risk them dying -- nm - Beaker Jun 13, 07:58
