COVID–19 Vaccination Non-Discrimination Act
This bill prohibits federal funding from being provided to healthcare facilities that refuse treatment to patients based on their COVID-19 vaccination status. It specifically blocks funds under Medicare (Title XVIII), Medicaid (Title XIX), and CHIP (Title XXI) from going to such facilities. The law directly affects hospitals, clinics, and other providers receiving federal healthcare funding by requiring them to offer treatment regardless of vaccination status. The key mechanism is withholding all federal funds authorized by law from any facility engaging in this practice.
