Wes Moore on Health Care

 

 


Vaccine policy led by science, not conspiracy theories

Last month, I stood with doctors and nurses at the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center in Prince George's County. Washington is making their jobs harder. Because the federal government went from data-driven research to "choose-your-own-adventure." So this year, I have introduced legislation to decouple the state's vaccine authority from the federal government's. Because our vaccine policy will be led by science, not internet conspiracy theories.

Safeguard gender-affirming care in Maryland

Summary by Free State Justice in support, October 17, 2024: This piece of legislation protects access to gender-affirming care in MD by adding it to the state's definition of legally protected healthcare. This does a variety of essential things, from ensuring locals can access the care they need to safeguarding both clients and their physicians from legal action by any other states trying to prosecute them for receiving/giving this care.

Legislative Outcome:Passed Senate 33-13-1 on Mar/5/25; passed House 97-38-6 on Apr/2/24; signed by Governor Wes Moore on May/16/24.
