Statement

Issues: Judicial Branch Health and Health Care

Today, Congressman Brad Wenstrup, D.P.M., (R-Ohio) issued the following statement after the United States Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration's vaccine mandate on businesses with 100 or more employees in National Federation of Independent Business v. Department of Labor:

"The decision to receive a vaccine should be made between a patient and their doctor -- not the federal government. The Supreme Court appropriately blocked President Biden's unconstitutional vaccine mandate requiring private businesses to force their employees to be vaccinated or meet a strict and unclear testing requirement or lose their livelihood. This decision is a good sign for freedom-loving Americans."

Dr. Wenstrup also added, "The Court's decision to allow the mandate on health care workers in federally-funded facilities to go into effect while the case is further considered on the merits may cause very serious and harmful workforce shortages."
