      The real solution is to offload the risk evaluation to the actuaries and let the resulting health premium changes reflect the cost of remaining unvaccinatedhttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1451209365378060297 …

      im fairly disappointed by people who generally identify as libertarian leaning yet support vaccine mandates and passports without explicitly grimacing about the implications for government power and considering the actually implementability of these policies

      I think most of us in this corner of twitter would honestly love this. I'm moderately in favor and I'm definitely fatter than most of you...

      possibly "i have a lot of thoughts" isnt quite right i think maybe the main thing is that in practice it doesnt matter, my impression is that most people are just signing up in pooled insurance policies via employers, or via non-exclusionary government programs

      if you had actual health insurance markets you could probably succeed in using eg BMI to set prices, but it might be hard to get to a separating equilibrium owing to competitive insurance market issues described by eg stiglitz

          so on one hand it kind of makes sense, on the other hand it might be difficult to accomplish in practice without a mandate for everyone to have health care insurance because of adverse selection leading to instability
