Problem
After the 2020 election, the Biden Administration issued two new policies regarding Covid -19 Vaccines.
The first policy was:
1) Using the OSHA (Occupational and Safety Administration) requirements, the policy will require that any employer who employs more than 100 workers must require employees to be vaccinated or be tested as negative on weekly basis. Additionally, all unvaccinated employees must wear masks at work. This policy was presented to the Supreme Court which declared that it was unconstitutional.
The second policy was:
2) Via the Department of Health and Human Services (HMS) and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), all healthcare facilities must require that their workers are fully vaccinated. Since most healthcare facilities receive payment from CMS and to continue to receive these payments, they must comply. This was also presented to the Supreme Court which declared that this policy WAS constitutional and could be put into place.
Some people have extraordinarily strong feelings regarding these policies. As a future health care manager, consider THE SECOND POLICY and address the following from the management perspective:
A. Discuss two specific reasons, which have been cited by proponents of the policy, for instituting and following the policies described above.
B. Discuss two specific reasons, which have been cited by opponents of the policy, for instituting and following the policies described above.
C. Describe which side of the argument with which you are would be most aligned as a manager. Provide two specific reasons for your preference.
