Interesting comment. I’m retired on Medicare plus I pay $285 mo for secondary insurance plus a third policy for zero deductible prescriptions.
We don’t receive any unpaid benefits from Medicare. Why would we ever be subjected to this law? We have friends that have a personal doctor for 10 families. Maybe I’ll ask to join and cancel Medicare.
The court used ‘purpose’ instead of rights to make this ruling. Bad ruling. The CMS mandate should have been shot down as well.
“IOW, will we be required to take the clot shot in order to receive other Medicare benefits?”
The ruling allows it.
This whole thing is SO wrong...
Pretty much all healthcare workers are “federal healthcare workers”.
“Maybe I’ll ask to join and cancel Medicare.”
You paid into that, and you should not be denied for any reason period. I would wait until it actually comes down to that choice if it were me.
There are six practicing Catholics, one raised a Catholic and two Jews on the SCOTUS.
Maybe pope Frankie lobbied Roberts and Kavanaugh so the Catholic hospitals would not get sued for imposing the mandates in the first place.
I hear the Vatican has grown weary of paying off legal settlements.
Well, they can’t. That’s why Biden had the FDA give them “full approval” even though they never met the actual requirements to receive FDA approval.
True, but don’t discount all the not so “open secrets” of insider trading practices, after office position deals and their favorite persuader... dirty laundry.

Urright
Good news indeed! However, some companies still can require them which is not good news.
Most, if not all hospitals, have patients who have Medicare and/or medicaid - this includes private hospitals. I work for a company that does contract work with medical records for hospitals in the Northeast although many of us live in other states. Last go round, even the out-of-state never ever ever never see a patient employees were required to have the original vaxxes and a flu shot. We never even come in contact with other employees. We work from home all the time.
I am not happy about this ruling because I do NOT intend to be “boosted”. I am not sure how this ruling affects employees of hospitals or even contractors of hospitals that receive CMS (Medicare insurance reimbursements)? One of hospitals we contract with has mandated the booster by March 2022.
I await legal minds to decipher this for me.
YAWN.
Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Barrett voted no on both rules.
Crash the system.
That's how they do it in the EU, and it works.
Um, no.
Bkmk SCOTUS screw-up again
Medicare is federally funded so maybe employees of any hospital that receives medicare reimbursements is held under the CMS mandate. After all, if one student attending a college receives a federal grant that college has to follow all fed rules.
