Biden to direct nursing homes to have staffers vaccinated to continue to get Medicare and Medicaid

staff cannot get employed in the field unless they are vaccinated.

I would encourage you to visit a nursing home, particularly inside city limits in a mediocre area.

"The field" for the majority of employees consists of cleaning bed-pans, mopping floors, getting yelled at by residents as you give them meds or take them to get showered, etc.

These are not accountants we are talking about here--their minimal pay means they can easily find comparable pay elsewhere.

With grandparents and now elderly parents, I am quite familiar with nursing homes and their issues. Low pay may be common, but work in a nursing home is usually offers much better working conditions than fast food.

And, to be blunt, the people whom you are referring to also tend to be Black and are often deeply suspicious of authority. In Orlando, for example, Black vaccination rates are lagging in spite of the leading county official, Jerry Demings, being Black and making a major effort to promote vaccination in that community. Requiring vaccinations for nursing home staff likely has his support.

“This is extortion and the government has no say in private company personnel.”

LOL.

“Because if the staff quit, grandma is going to die of neglect...vaccinated or not.”

Which is what happened in New Orleans during Rita, when my best friend lost an aunt who was left unattended when the staff evacuated.

In a constitutional government they don’t. In the Biden Administration it’s laughable.

“In a constitutional government they don’t. In the Biden Administration it’s laughable.”

One the Democrats are able to fill the courts (either by packing or attrition), it is ALL OVER, permanently, for our Constitution. They have signaled this time after time, yet FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE, including some here (assuming they’re not trolls) are simply unable to comprehend this fact.
