If you're self insured or work for or own a company with less than 100 employees, I think you don't pay more directly. That's because of provisions of Obama's affordable care act. However hospitalization costs and the like drive up health care costs that eventually are going to come out of your employers pocket and your pocket. That's because the insurance companies pass the costs on through higher rates.It's almost like our healthcare system is failing during a pandemic and no one gives a peepee poopoo.
If you work for a larger company, I think their costs do go up if their employees are sickly. Part of that would probably come out of wages. Also, insurance companies aren't covering 100% of COVID treatment costs like they used to. Some people are ending up with large copays when they go to the hospital for COVID, that they didn't have to pay before.
