Assuming all patients are paying market rate for care, of course the hospital would serve them. Laws requiring seat belts and helmets assume externalized costs to be absorbed by society. If society is paying, it should be able to reject bills resulting from extreme recklessness.

The willfully unvaccinated who wind up in hospitals from Covid should not receive priority medical care over other very sick or injured people who are as much in urgent need of medical care.

The implicit assumption that the vaccine will remain effective to new variants is interesting. When given heard immunity seems basically impossible now, actually seems quite unlikely.

Seems like that could get into some very subjective territory that would more than likely slow down efficiency. Like if you got someone dying, who has time to check their twitter feed, or do a deep dive on their personal history and measure that against some other person.

Well, if they show up with a parachute attached and 40 broken bones, you have an idea. I agree though, hard to determine in the moment. Best solved with highest bid for next bed system and people can take whatever risks they want.
