Banning denial of medical treatment based on COVID-19 vaccination status.

This bill aims to protect citizens' access to healthcare by prohibiting medical facilities receiving federal funds from denying treatment based solely on an individual's COVID-19 vaccination status. If a facility violates this rule, it will lose access to all federal funding, including crucial Medicare and Medicaid payments. This ensures that vaccination status cannot be a barrier to receiving necessary medical care.
Key points
Healthcare facilities are prohibited from refusing treatment to individuals based on their COVID-19 vaccination status.
Facilities that violate this prohibition will lose all access to Federal funding, including Medicare and Medicaid.
The goal is to ensure equal access to medical care regardless of vaccination history.
