Restoring Health Care Worker Freedom
Washington,
January 31, 2023
With the support of Congressman Bill Posey (R-Rockledge), the House passed legislation (H.R. 497, the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act) to ban Medicare and Medicaid from mandating COVID vaccines for staff and health care providers as a condition to participate in those programs.
“While they were recognized early in the pandemic as brave and heroic, health care workers went from hero to zero when faced with a vaccine mandate, causing many to lose their jobs and livelihoods as well as creating shortages and driving up costs. This is completely unfair and wrong, and I am pleased to support passage of legislation to restore their personal freedom,” said Congressman Posey. |
