Florida bill SB 1580/HB 1403 state-sanctioned denied healthcare
“What does this even mean? There is no def of moral or ethical in the bill. Who determines what constitutes a sincerely held moral or ethical belief, and more imp, why sh access to health care be denied based on such vague, imprecise,& subjective terms?”
Bill will allow denial of your healthcare based on moral, ethical, or religious beliefs
This bill (SB 1580/HB 1403) creates a state-sanctioned license to discriminate in the provision of any healthcare service.
This bill is quite frankly shocking in its breadth and vagueness and government overreach into the private sector and regulated businesses.
In addition to allowing providers and entities to refuse to provide healthcare, the bill will also prevent employers from taking any adverse actions against any healthcare provider employee who refuses to provide such care if they allege their refusal is due to ethical, moral, or religious beliefs. Thus, forcing employers to retain employees who refuse to do their jobs.
