Sen. Rand Paul is leading the charge to hold taxpayer-funded health institutions accountable for denying unvaccinated people critical care, including organ transplants.
Legislation introduced Tuesday from Paul, R-Ky., would bar federal funds from going to health care facilities that have denied patients care based on their COVID-19 vaccination status. It would also protect the rights of patients to make decisions about their health without being penalized.
"No American should be denied access to critical care based on a personal medical decision, yet tragically, many hospitals and other medical facilities continue to discriminate against those unvaccinated for COVID-19," Paul told Fox News Digital.
"The COVID-19 Vaccination Non-Discrimination Act will protect the rights of vulnerable patients to make their own health care choices and ensure that federal taxpayer dollars do not support facilities that turn away patients based on their COVID-19 vaccination status," he said.
According to Paul's office, the American Medical Association (AMA) has urged doctors to still provide care for patients, regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination status. However, there have been instances nationwide that reveal health care facilities receiving taxpayer dollars are doing the opposite.
One case is a 14-year-old girl in North Carolina who was denied a kidney transplant from Duke University Hospital because she was never vaccinated against COVID. The patient argued she already had the virus and therefore had natural immunity.

Agreed.
The woke agenda has infected every institution from archaeology to zoology. Your future doctor will likely be a C student who minored in gender studies. They want to keep their jobs, so they’ll do whatever Saint Fauci and the Church of Wholesome Goodness tells them to do.
Local hospital has removed mask requirements.
I figured they would be permanent.
Workers all smiling.
Thank you Rand Paul!
societal cancer runs deep
I no longer donate my pure blood. Why should I reward hospitals that withhold lifesaving treatment to the unvaxxed while begging for my rare blood type? I also removed the organ designation from my driver’s license. “First do no harm,” my ass.
Because “Health Care” has been so politicized by the Left that it is no longer about your health but more about indoctrinating you and forcing your blind obedience - criminal to the point of being a capital crime.
1.Deny medical care to purebloods. 2. Purebloods die. 3. “Look! Look! The stupid unvaxxed are dying!”
Why is ‘injustice’ in quotation marks in the headline? Punctuation matters. It seems the headline would be more accurate without devaluing the key word.
I’ll bet the pharm industry is behind this.
Turns out there is little hospital administrators won’t do for a buck.
Thinking about it, I wonder if there is anything at all they wouldn’t do to people for a little scratch?
“2. Purebloods die.”
I would not be at all surprised to find out they didn’t help this step along a little.
Rand Paul really is a hero. May God’s Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus fill him for continued service.
…But they can’t deny care they illegals who have no intention of paying for it.
Don’t underestimate the power of the state and county health officials in these decisions.
I learned over the scamdemic, the most powerful person wasn’t the President of the United States, it was the county executives, county and state health officials,and governors in each of their little kingdoms..
FUNNY how “MY BODY—MY CHOICE” applies to killing a human-—but doesn’t apply to free choice regarding “vaccines”.
Even the Europeans and their love of the “vax” considered natural recovery equal to “vaxxed” for their vaccine papers.
