Louisiana Attorney General Challenges Federal Vaccine Mandate for Healthcare Workers
Louisiana Attorney General Challenges Federal Vaccine Mandate for Healthcare Workers
Published November 15, 2021
Baton Rouge, LA – Attorney General Jeff Landry has filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) rule requiring COVID vaccines for nearly every full-time, part-time, volunteer, and contractor working at a variety of healthcare facilities that receive Medicaid or Medicaid funding.
According to Attorney General Landry, this mandate will throw the state budget into disarray, putting billions of dollars on the line, and could be even more damaging than the healthcare shortages it will cause.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry has taken similar legal measures in the past, filing lawsuits to stop the mandate of immunizations on federal contractors and private companies.
During a press release, Louisiana Attorney General Landry said “Biden’s bureaucrats at CMS are threatening the jobs of millions of our healthcare heroes who risked their lives last year caring for our neighbors with COVID-19. What’s more: the mandate once again gives more rights and protections to illegal aliens than American citizens,” said Attorney General Landry. “The federal government will not impose medical tyranny on Louisiana’s people without my best fight.”
