This joint resolution nullifies the rule titled Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Omnibus COVID-19 Health Care Staff Vaccination, which was issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on November 5, 2021.

Bill 117 hjres 67 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services regarding the "Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Omnibus COVID-19 Health Care Staff Vaccination." The rule in question pertains to the vaccination of health care staff against COVID-19 within the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

The bill falls under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations put forth by federal agencies. In this case, the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is being challenged by Congress for disapproval.

The purpose of the rule is to ensure that health care staff working within Medicare and Medicaid programs are vaccinated against COVID-19. This is seen as a crucial step in preventing the spread of the virus within health care settings and protecting both patients and staff members. However, some members of Congress believe that the rule goes too far in mandating vaccinations for health care staff and infringes on individual rights and freedoms. They argue that vaccination should be a personal choice and that the government should not be able to mandate it for certain groups of people. Overall, Bill 117 hjres 67 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate surrounding COVID-19 vaccinations and government mandates. It will be interesting to see how Congress ultimately decides to proceed with this bill and whether the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will be upheld or overturned.
