Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) introduced a bill on Tuesday that would hold hospitals accountable if they deny care to patients who have not received the COVID-19 vaccine.

The legislation introduced by the Kentucky lawmaker, known as the COVID-19 Vaccination Non-Discrimination Act, would prohibit federal funds from being made available to health care facilities that discriminate against patients based on their COVID-19 vaccination status (pdf).
