This might be bad news for people dependent on Medicare and Medicaid. If enough staff holds their ground and quits some providers will be unable to continue operating. Or, probably less likely, providers stop accepting Medicare and Medicaid because medical staff shortages are already at the critical point.
I guess healthcare providers can’t file until they actually have staff quit, but isn’t the Supreme Court’s ruling a violation of equal protection in and of itself? Saying some people are not subject to the mandate, but those whose employers accept CMS hardly seems like equal protection.
Of course, my layman’s perspective could be completely wrong.

If they try that, it will be struck down as a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
