Harriet Hageman on Health Care

 

 


Our institutions have failed us on COVID-19 EUA vaccine

Q: Under what circumstances should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

A: Inoculation requirements for students attending government schools typically have exemptions for natural immunity, for religious reasons, and for healthcare and medical considerations. Under no circumstance should there be a mandate for a vaccine (or other medical procedure or drug) that has been approved only under an emergency use authorization ("EUA"). Any government or employer that imposes a vaccine requirement should be held legally & financially responsible for any negative consequences that are suffered as a result of such policy. Focusing specifically on the government's response to covid-19, it is clear that our institutions have failed us. The decisions to shut down our country, restrict travel, close schools, and designate businesses as either "essential" and "non-essential" have been disastrous, and we will be suffering the consequences for years and decades to come.

No new taxpayer-funded programs beyond Medicare/Medicaid

It has long been said that a government that is big enough to give you everything that you need is powerful enough to take away everything that you have. That adage clearly applies in the health-care context. The federal government has proven itself time and again to be incapable of being accountable to the citizens of this country. The last two years have shown that the political leaders and bureaucrats in Washington, DC are more than willing to use the threat of withholding healthcare to control the masses -- one example is the threat to withhold Medicare and Medicaid payments to any healthcare providers that do not force all of their employees to take the covid-19 vaccine. That is simply not the role of government, and those types of actions show that the more power we give the government over such things like healthcare the less free we will be.
