So healthcare workers are not employed by private corporate businesses. What does private mean?
Let me explain it this way. The Federal government can only oversee things so far as the Federal government is concerned.
Unless the Federal government has a contract with a company, they can't mandate shit.
But since OSHA is basically a Federal Regulatory arm of the government, the question arises if any and all companies that follow OSHA guidelines would have to be involved in the mandate, whether or not they were Federally contracted.
All of Healthcare, by contrast, is required to carry Medicare and Medicaid provisions, so they can't use the same logic as OSHA-regulated industries.
So now, Healthcare has to go through their own cases to figure out if the mandate is legal for them as well. As far as this court is concerned, Healthcare is always sucked in by the Federal Government, and so the mandate applies to them more rigidly than it would for industry. (You have to think in a frame of mind of limiting maximum damages to the grieving party. If the mandate goes out for people not federally contracted, and damages do occur, the court would be to blame for bad judgement, and all hell breaks loose Constitutionally.)
It appears others have already jumped on this and asked the 6th Circuit to fulfill an injunction on the Healthcare aspect of it as well.
The courts did as they should in this case. The only fear is in if they were too heavy-handed with their reasoning and provide Trojan Horse precedent in their statements for other adjacent cases, such as the Abortion cases on the docket.
By that logic anyone who pays federal taxes or follows any federal law is under the control of the federal government. Either way it’s ok for the federal government to cause the same harm, that they would take action against others for.
Yeah, pretty much.
If you wanna work with the Government, you have to follow their rules to the T.
Since the Government is absolutely required (on paper, not practice) to pay for services they contract, they get to have some degrees of leverage. Part of that leverage is being able to make you follow every single rule they have when it comes to working for the Government. This protects the Government from opportunists who might try to take advantage of the Rule of Law -- that a Federal body must honor its contracts to the letter.
You don't have to take a Federal contract. They do have to pay you for the contract you draft with them. It's only logical that the Federal government get some say in how the contract is to be fulfilled, seeing how they have all the risk if things go wonky.
Reread that line, though. "You don't have to take a Federal contract."
That's why the Court's decision today was correct. Since you have a choice to refuse to take their contracts, you have a choice to not play by every single one of their overbearing rules, vaccine mandates included.
Healthcare is different, however, and that ties into subsidies, Medicaid/Medicare, and other insurance mumbo jumbo. That's why this fight will carry on, we just need some time for the proper courts to be notified that injunctions still need to be filed and fulfilled as the higher courts go into the nitty gritty for SPECIFICALLY Healthcare's circumstances.
The Court's decision here colors me hopeful that they are doing their due diligence and covering all angles, making sure to take out the small fish first and the big fish (does the Federal Government get to withhold employment dependent on medical status, regardless of underlying circumstances) last.
People should understand this. We went to school, passed our exams, worked diligently, worked overtime, exposed to all kinds of diseases, loved and cared for our patients...booted for no vaccine
I am not saying others don't have hardships. I am saying the government still has their boots on our necks.
"regarfing" sounds like something Goofy would do behind a Denny's after party hour.
Sorry typo.
