PCIC Supports this bill.
HB286 will prohibit medical discrimination in pediatric offices, ending the unethical trend of pediatric offices refusing medical care to families who do not follow the CDC vaccine schedule exactly. This trend is fueled by insurance incentives. HB286 was originally introduced in the 2019-20 legislative session and received a lot of support and attention. With medical discrimination taking center-stage in the 2021 political sphere, we expect this bill to gain even more support.
