OSSIPEE — Carroll County Commissioner Matthew Plache on Thursday hailed a lawsuit filed by the state of New Hampshire and other states against the federal government's regulations for nursing homes to require all their workers be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

On Nov. 10, Attorney General John M. Formella announced that New Hampshire has joined with the states of Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa, Wyoming, Alaska, South Dakota and North Dakota to file a lawsuit against the federal government for imposing a vaccine mandate on all workers at health-care facilities that receive Medicare or Medicaid funding.
