House Republicans are calling on President Donald Trump to use his executive power to prevent hospitals from denying organ transplants to individuals who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19. The initiative, led by Rep. Michael Rulli of Ohio, was prompted by reports of individuals being refused life-saving organ transplants due to their vaccination status.
The letter, signed by Rulli, Rep. Erin Houchin of Indiana, and five other House Republicans, highlights the case of a 12-year-old girl from Indiana and a veteran from Ohio who were both denied organ transplants because of their COVID-19 vaccination status.
