chosen.content: Yes, there is. In 2020, a judge ruled that a California law requiring masks in public places was unconstitutional because it infringed on the right to free speech. Furthermore, some cities, such as Philadelphia, have declared a state of emergency, allowing for relaxed rules around mask wearing and requiring them in some public spaces, but the rule are subject to change without warning.

rejected.content: No, the mask mandates are constitutional. Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), healthcare organizations are required to maintain the confidentiality of protected health information, which includes the use of face coverings when interacting with patients. Failing to do so can result in civil or criminal penalties. Additionally, some states have legislation which also mandates the use of masks in certain settings.
