Kroger ban unvaccinated staff from paid sick leave if they catch Covid
Kroger announced they won't be giving paid sick leave to unvaccinated workers who get Covid. Earlier this year the company implemented a $100 reward to incentivize the shots.www.dailymail.co.uk
Oh no, maybe they shouldn't have fired all their unvaccinated staff.Several major hospitals around the state are at or near 120% occupancy levels, but it's not because of COVID-19 patients.
“Our hospitals are bursting at the seams,” she said. “But they're not filled with COVID-19 patients. Remarkably, they are filled with patients who do not need hospital care.”
Briley described the patients that hospitals can’t be moved out of hospitals as those who have “complex, long-term care needs,” for which a facility can’t be found due to staffing shortages.

What about the alcoholics and their liver?
I worked for a hospital that started that years ago with the seasonal flu. If you got the vaccine and got the flu, you get paid time off. If you refused the flu shot and got the flu, it was an automatic 7 - 10 days off no pay.Remember this the next time you go shopping.

That has been done for many many years now.
The insurance surcharge is not that uncommon. Meet certain criteria and you get health care discounts. That is common in many places of business now. Life insurance.....old versus young, smoker versus non-smoker and so on.
I DO NOT support any mandate or attempts to manipulate peopleinto getting the vax, but getting upset now over practices that have been going on for decades is not an effective argument.
I think you can find your answer in the Declaration of Independence.I worked for a hospital that started that years ago with the seasonal flu. If you got the vaccine and got the flu, you get paid time off. If you refused the flu shot and got the flu, it was an automatic 7 - 10 days off no pay.

It's a business.....they both are. Unless someone has been sleeping for the last 50 years, many companies have had policies that offer discounts to healthcare for a healthy lifestyle.It's not a hospital, it's Kroger.
This is not normal. Do not act like this is normal.It's a business.....they both are. Unless someone has been sleeping for the last 50 years, many companies have had policies that offer discounts to healthcare for a healthy lifestyle.
Some people are still sleeping.This is not normal. Do not act like this is normal.
I have never in my entire life been told by an employer or insurer that I was subject to financial penalty or withholding of benefits because I didn't get an injection.Some people are still sleeping.
I would think it is more the norm than not.
Have you taken out any life insurance lately? Health insurance is not any different.
Life insurance is different. A whole different set of laws and regulations apply to life insurance and a different set to health insurance. These types of thinking always bog the conservative side down. It gives the opposition the win because conservatives are divided. Are we going to allow insu corporations to dictate details of how people live? Where would it stop? What is too far?Some people are still sleeping.
