What are they putting in the water up there in Wisconsin?

Really?  The GOP-dominated state legislature really has nothing better to do than debate a bill that  would prohibit employers (like, say, hospitals) from requiring their employees to get flu shots, or even to wear face masks?

'Rep. Jeremy Theisfeldt wrote Assembly Bill 247 after he said a hospital employee lost her job over flu shot mandates. “I'm standing for the freedom of individuals to be able to reasonably determine their own healthcare and not to have sacrificed their livelihood to do so,” Theisfeldt said.'

You keep using that word "reasonably" — I do not think it means what you think it means.  

In other words, your freedom to determine your own healthcare ends where the germs and viruses you're "freely" carrying around impact the health of others, particularly in a healthcare setting where health and  immune systems are already compromised.
