This bill establishes a prohibition on the allocation of federal funds to any healthcare facility that denies medical treatment to an individual solely based on their COVID-19 vaccination status. It mandates that no federal funds , whether authorized, appropriated, or from federal trust funds, can be made available to such entities. The legislation explicitly includes funds from significant federal programs like Medicare (Title XVIII), Medicaid (Title XIX), and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP - Title XXI) under the Social Security Act. This measure is designed to prevent discrimination in healthcare access, ensuring that an individual's COVID-19 vaccination status does not become a barrier to receiving necessary medical treatment.
