    It actually makes them money. When the hospitals are filled with Covid patients, no elective surgery can take place. Hell, sometimes necessary surgery can't take place. This loses insurance companies money. The more people that get vaccinated, the more hospitals can go back to doing other stuff than Covid, the more money insurance companies can make

        Insurance companies basically work like credit card processors. They take a little cut out of every single transaction, and Obamacare, which they wrote, made it a percentage rather than a flat fee. The bigger the bill the more money they keep/"make".
