I am in the industry and we are already struggling for staff. I would say about 35% of our staff are unvaccinated. This is going to sink the industry.

CMS is another federal agency that needs to be disbanded and tossed into the trash heap!!

CMS will need to have massive increases in their reimbursement rate for increased salaries for nursing staffs—but they won’t figure that out until patients start dying from lack of nursing staff instead of Covid.

If you want folks to risk their health with these experimental vaccines then you need to compensate them accordingly.

The next mandate will be for all Medicare/Medicaid recipients to be vaccinated in order to continue to receive benefits. I’ll be very surprised if that does not happen. Lord have mercy on us all.

Biden gave a pass to the Postal Workers. Do nursing home workers look different?

These people work for us. Not the other way around.
It sounds simple to collect damages for injuries sustained from experimental vaccine but that may happen many years later in any case no one will claim responsibility. These are the people that say the Taliban can have our weapons and ammo with tens of thousands of civilians in their care who’ll pulling the military

So once these caregivers get poked they can come in asymptomatic and shedding virus to pass on to the elderly with weakened immune systems?

Sounds like a great idea if they want to free up beds.

Nursing homes participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs will be required to have all staff vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to continue receiving federal funding for the programs. President Joe Biden is expected to make the announcement later today

I have no idea if this includes the nursing home my wife works at. Guess we’ll find out pretty soon.

From experience trying to get help .... driving for Amazon pays more and is a more pleasant work environment. Big shortages already & this will make it much worse.

If you’ve never had a loved one/friend in a nursing home where the care is “not good” ..... well, it’s pretty awful.

They can try, but no sale, the Medicare health plans have been pushing the jab for a long time now, still no sale

When the unvaccinated are fired they should file suit. They should also file complaints with OSHA, Medicare, Medicaid to shut them down for understaffing.

If they make it a mandate, they’ll just not give us our benefits. Or if they make social security dependent upon the vaccines, they’ll just not pay us.

That’s good to know; many folks are on social security.

And there are many folks on Medicare already, or soon to be eligible.
