Yes, that’s my understanding as well. The healthcare mandate was issued by the CMS - Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services - and is not part of the EO’s issued by Biden. Which is unfortunate, because I do have some hope that the EO’s will get shot down. But a ruling by CMS is a different ball game. Unfortunately I will be subject to the healthcare one, even though I have virtually no interaction with patients. But I work for a community mental healthcare non-profit. I am in accounting, and have my own office, not even on the main campus. So far they are still waiting on further guidance, but I truly don’t know what I am going to do if this goes through.
Some hope. Hopefully others will join him.
