The chairman of R+V Insurance, Norbert Rollinger, said he could envisage health insurance organisations introducing different tariffs for vaccinated and unvaccinated people. “After all, these are costs incurred by the community: if someone ends up in intensive care because of Corona, that is significantly more expensive than a vaccination,” Rollinger said in an interview with t-online. “Health insurers are already allowed to differentiate between smokers and non-smokers when it comes to rates. “As an insurance industry, sooner or later we will have to think about possibly differentiating rates based on vaccination status,” Rollinger continued. If that is not enough, I can certainly understand the discussion (about higher rates for unvaccinated people).”Rollinger said the insurance industry has been severely challenged in recent months due to the pandemic.
