Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Signs Healthcare Worker Conscience Protections into Law
Breitbart ^ | 12 May 2023 | Katherine Hamilton

Posted on 05/13/2023 2:56:48 PM PDT by proust

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed the Physicians Freedom of Speech bill, Senate Bill 1580, on Thursday in addition to three other pieces of legislation the governor’s office says will provide “permanent protections for Floridians from the ‘Biomedical Security State.”‘

SB 1580 allows health care providers and health care payors to have the right to opt out of participation or payment for certain health care services on the basis of conscience-based objections. The bill defines conscience-based objections with respect to “governing documents; any published ethical, moral, or religious guidelines or directives; mission statements; constitutions; articles of incorporation; bylaws; policies; or regulations.”

“It is the intent of the Legislature to provide the right of medical conscience for healthcare providers and payors to ensure they can care for patients in a manner consistent with their moral, ethical, and religious convictions. Further, it is the intent of the Legislature that licensed healthcare providers and payors be free from threat of discrimination for providing conscience-based health care,” the bill reads.

DeSantis additionally signed SB 252, which prohibits businesses and governmental entities from requiring proof of vaccination or post-infection recovery from any disease to gain access to those entities. The bill also prohibits employers from “refusing employment to or discharging, disciplining, demoting, or otherwise discriminating against an individual solely on the basis of vaccination or immunity status,” according to the governor’s office.

Why should anybody explain themselves to an anti Trump partisan like yourself?

If somebody decided to get the shots & are now looking for a scapegoat, they can look in the mirror for the culprit.

It’s a fair question. How is this a RINO move? How does taking a 60% paycut (applauding your difficult decision, momincombatboots) to not get the jab earn an accusation about looking for a scapegoat for taking the jab?

Because she blames Trump for everything wrong in America over the last 6 years, including things like vote by mail which are state election issues.

She worked in a bloated sector of the economy pre virus hysteria, and now she doesn’t work in that sector, hence the daily diatribes against the 45th President.

Finding new employment is the answer to her problems.

Go outside and get some fresh air. That incense you’re burning on your Trump alter appears to be affecting your ability to be rational and civil.

“I ... had to take a 60 percent paycut to avoid trumps big pharma billions vax.”

That would be credible if Trump had mandated a vax for anyone, which he didn’t. If loser employers glommed on to the Biden vax mandate cult, that’s not on Trump.

Because you made a claim that you need to back up or have a seat.
