(AP) - A coalition of 10 states sued the federal government on Wednesday to try to block a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for health care workers, marking a new front in the resistance by Republican-led states to the pandemic policies of President Joe Biden's administration.The lawsuit filed in a federal court in Missouri contends that the vaccine requirement threatens the jobs of millions of health care workers and could "exacerbate an alarming shortage" in health care fields, particularly in rural areas where some health workers have been hesitant to get the shots.The suit follows similar ones by Republican-led states challenging new Biden administration rules that will require federal contractors to ensure their workers
