BATON
ROUGE, LA - Just days after Attorney General Jeff Landry led a 12-state coalition challenging the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS) over their rule mandating COVID-19 vaccines on healthcare workers, Judge
Terry Doughty has issued an expedited briefing schedule on the case.
“Biden’s
Jab or Job policy is unconstitutional and immoral. It is yet another attempt to break
the backs of America’s working class but
also an unprecedented attack on access to health care services for the poor and
elderly,” said Attorney General Landry. “I am
pleased with the expedited order issued by Judge Doughty and look forward to
quickly defeating the federal government’s overreach.”
Attorney
General Landry’s lawsuit challenges the CMS mandate requiring nearly every full-time
employee, part-time employee, volunteer, and contractor receiving Medicaid or
Medicaid funding to get the COVID shot. The now expedited briefing schedule
requires all briefs to be completed on or before December 1, 2021.
“Joe
Biden can continue trying to bully our citizens, but I will keep fighting for
them and the chief principle of our great country – freedom,” concluded
Attorney General Landry.
