About this episode
On Friday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in two cases: The first was the National Federation of Independent Business v. Department of Labor , which is a challenge to the Biden administration’s vaccine-or-test mandate that was instituted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The mandate requires employees at companies of at least 100 people to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or be tested weekly and wear masks while in the workplace. The rule impacted about two-thirds of all private sector workers, more than 84 million people . The second challenge is Biden v. Missouri . In that case, the Biden administration's nationwide mandate for all health care workers at facilities receiving federal funding is being challenged. The Department of Health and Human services instituted a rule that all workers that participate in Medicare or Medicaid programs must be fully vaccinated unless they qualify for a medical or religious exemption, according to SCOTUSblog.com . More than 10 million workers are impacted by this rule. You can read today's podcast here . You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.
