No Mandatory Vaccines for Healthcare Workers in Medicare/Medicaid Programs.
This bill aims to prevent the federal government from mandating vaccines or drugs for healthcare workers providing services under Medicare and Medicaid programs. This means healthcare facilities cannot require their employees to receive specific vaccines or drugs as a condition for participating in these programs. For citizens, it implies that access to healthcare through Medicare and Medicaid will not be contingent on the vaccination status of medical staff.
