Legislative Update
Dear Colleagues,
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the vaccine or testing mandate from the Biden Administration couldn’t go into effect but permitted a vaccine requirement for health care workers whose facilities receive Medicare or Medicaid funds. NHMA is very disappointed in this decision. We joined former OSHA officials, medical professionals, and public health experts who agree: OSHA Can and Must Protect Workers from COVID-19. OSHA’s vaccine or test standard is an essential component of America’s strategy to end the COVID-19 pandemic by requiring more than 84 million private-sector workers to become fully vaccinated or submit to weekly testing.
