It's the same legal rationale that makes the vaccine mandate for Federal contractors a more legally sound requirement than the OSHA mandate.
That's how they got that ruling. Take money directly from the fed gov, you are now at their mercy. It's no wonder the fed's are always trying to expand their reach ($$$).
Name healthcare facilities where fedgov IS NOT a contracting agent?
“Much as I disagree with the health care worker mandate, the Federal government is on much more solid ground there because it only involves health care workers and facilities where the Federal government is the contracting agent (not just a regulatory authority).”
So does that mean workers at Federal facilities like VA hospitals are affected by the mandate, but not private hospitals?
What about when the federal government is not the sole contracting agent? Federal funding may not be 100% in all cases as there may be other contracting or funding agents. That being the case what kind of funding threshold applies?
Not attacking your logic, just questioning the apparent logic of the Court in assuming that federal support is predominant or the only source in all cases.
How would this affect an organization like Kaiser Permanente?
Well …. Just about every hospital and a vast majority of medical practices have to receive Medicare and Medicaid funding, and that requires a federal contract…
list federal healthcare centers:
Federally Qualified Health Centers may be Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Health Centers for Residents of Public Housing
It’s also not the first mandate. We have to have our flu shots annually to work in healthcare facilities. This has been the case for years so there is precedent. Every health care worker knew as soon as the vaccine came out it would be mandated
“It’s the same legal rationale that makes the vaccine mandate for Federal contractors a more legally sound requirement than the OSHA mandate.”
But it’s not a Vaccine.
It’s EUA only.
So, they can push whatever they want into your body.
“it only involves health care workers and facilities where the Federal government is the contracting agent (not just a regulatory authority)”
A distinction without a difference, since the feds already infiltrated the entire industry with the tentacles of Medicare and Medicaid.
“it only involves health care workers and facilities where the Federal government is the contracting agent (not just a regulatory authority).”
So places/clinics that accept Medicare and Medicaid aren’t included?
Whatever. It’s either constitutional or not. And I didn’t see it in there.
