Your Money
A place that turns a patient away over their COVID-19 shot status could get no federal money. That means no Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP payments. The rule would win over other federal laws.
More about this bill
If a hospital or other facility turns you away because of your COVID-19 shot status, it would lose all federal money. That includes Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP (the children's health plan) payments. It also covers money from any federal trust fund. This rule would win over any other federal law. Its words cover turning people away over any shot status, not just for skipping the shot. The bill does not say what counts as a facility or as care. It does not say who would check. It sets no start date, so it would apply once it becomes law.
Congressional Summary
