GOP lawmakers appeal to Trump with hospital community rules
Rep. Michael Rulli spoke about Fox News Digital about a letter sending President Trump to use enforcement actions to urge hospitals to stop organ transplants to people without the Covid-19 vaccine.
First on FOX: House Republicans are urging President Donald Trump to use his enforcement power to prevent hospitals from refusing to transplant organs of people who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19.
Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, who leads the letter, said he was partially put into action after Vice President JD Vance's 12-year-old relative reportedly refused a heart transplant over the Covid-19 vaccination situation.
“It has been revealed over the past week that several hopeless Americans have been denied a life-saving organ transplant due to Covid-19 vaccination status,” the letter said. “This outrageous denial of care has affected some of our most vulnerable citizens, including children in Indiana and veterans in Ohio.”

“Timing is everything. If we don't accomplish this, people's lives can be at risk.”

“The same principle applies here. These reckless orders implemented under the Biden administration do more harm than good,” the letter said.
“Your leadership has allowed our country to return to an era where our brave and talented health professionals can freely save lives without being burdened by the bureaucratic barriers that put our most vulnerable citizens at risk.”
