This bill proposes to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to prohibit healthcare facilities from considering an individual's vaccination status during the organ transplant selection process. The legislation specifically targets hospitals, critical access hospitals, and rural emergency hospitals, preventing them from using vaccination status as a criterion for determining organ recipient eligibility. By modifying Section 1866(a)(1) of the Social Security Act, the bill aims to ensure that organ allocation decisions are made without regard to a patient's vaccination history. This measure seeks to standardize the criteria for organ transplants across these facilities, focusing on fairness and medical necessity.
