DES MOINES – Gov. Kim Reynolds on Wednesday announced that the State of Iowa has joined a lawsuit challenging President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate rule for Medicare and Medicaid certified providers and suppliers.

Iowa joined a lawsuit filed by the Attorney General of Missouri. The states of Alaska, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming also joined the lawsuit.

“Medical providers that have been on the frontlines of this pandemic saving lives deserve the freedom and ability to make their own informed health care decisions,” she said in a released statement

“Not only is this an attack on individual liberties, it’s yet another mandate that will further exacerbate the critical workforce issues currently impacting the health care industry across the country. 

“I believe the vaccine is the best defense against COVID-19, but I also firmly believe in Iowans’ right to make health care decisions based on what’s best for themselves and their families, and I remain committed to protecting those freedoms. President Biden should do the same,” Reynolds added.

The State of Iowa has five state-run health care facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding: the Iowa Veterans Home, the Cherokee and Independence Mental Health Institutes, and the Glenwood and Woodward Resource Centers.
