Ochsner Health, the largest nonprofit health care system in Louisiana, announced it will charge workers an additional $200 per month to insure their unvaccinated spouses or partners covered by the hospital group’s insurance policies, citing the high cost of caring for and treating patients with COVID-19.
The company referred to the new surcharge, which will take effect in 2022, as a “cost adjustment for adult dependents (spouses and domestic partners) who are not vaccinated against COVID-19.”

(I had a cat that bit a dumb, seriously dumb vet tech). My cat was defending herself against that dumb tech, so she bit her.. twice) And what did my cat get? A big red round “I’m a biter” sticker.”
I wanted to take that red sticker and shove it on the forehead of the vet tech and have it say “DUMB”.)
