It was a 32-page doc, basically destroying the defendants claims and explaining why the plaintiffs would likely succeed in all of theirs if this went any further. Injunction granted—here is the last sentence of the ruling: "Defendants shall immediately cease all implementation or enforcement of the Interim Final Rule with Comment Period as to any Medicare- and Medicaid certified providers and suppliers within the States of Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming."

"Backed The Fuck Off"
Blown the Fuck Out? That's what I always thought it meant...but I like Backed the Fuck Off, too! ;)
I feel like It's an evolution of GTFO = "Get the fuck out", just kind of the past tense of it
And here is the link from the MO AG office: https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/cms-injunction.pdf?sfvrsn=ed822d9d_2
Great news - finally some hope for health care workers who have been holding on.. Hope this gets shared on all platforms.
So what does that mean for healthcare workers in other states?
I'm not sure, to be honest. I do know there is another lawsuit similar to this one, that was brought by the Ag of Louisiana, along with another 10-12 other states just recently. I haven't been following that one as closely, but I wonder if this ruling will help. The best case scenario in my opinion is that CMS realizes they don't have a chance, if enough states bring suits, and the back all the way down—nationwide. Like OSHA did.
Here is some info on that other lawsuit—and it looks like 3 other states just joined the 11 original states very recently. So, it's picking up some steam.

Masha'Allah
Where is Ohio and the other states - UGH - this needs to be for the entire country. This mandate is going to collapse our health care system ( not that it is perfect) including those of us who do great work for the community.
I think that Ohio actually joined the other lawsuit that the LA AG filed along with 13 or so other states...fingers crossed for you that it has the same outcome!!
