Today we're having continue our conversations with the administration on legislation that puts families first.

程度の副詞

We're very proud of the work that the Congress did last week with an $8.3 billion legislation to meet the needs of Social and Health Service's organization, state and local government testing.

All the rest of that testing, testing, testing so very, very important so that we can have an idea of the, uh size of the challenge, but also that we, first and foremost that we can meet the needs of those protests positive today will bring to the floor our family's first legislation, which is what we talked about A soon as we finish the appropriations bill listening to our constituents listening to health care professionals listening to governors, mayors, et cetera, put the families first legislation together.

It has free Corona virus testing, by and large, for almost everyone in the country.

We're having some discussion about that with the administration of maybe some people they want to pay, but by and large free corona testing so that everyone will be tested and no one will say I can't afford it, so I can't and that's not a good idea when it comes to public health.

Paid emergency leave with 14 paid sick days.

Uh, it's we the deal with this challenge, that public health challenge, that we have enhanced unemployment insurance of her step that will extend protections to furloughed workers, strength and food security initiatives.

Very important, the kids just get their food security from being in school.

If schools are closed, we have to make sure that the food gets to the Children that this food is already paid for, an advocate appropriated for.

It's just a question of getting the food to the Children, and that has some cost to it.

We also have to get that's the school lunch program, etcetera.

But in terms of snap and food assistance for seniors, people with disabilities helping the nonprofits or who are on the forefront of helping people have access to food at this difficult time, and then ah, clear protections for frontline workers who are working in construction CE environments of possible infectious environments s so that they, the OSHA regulations are a protection for them and then increase funding for Medicaid, the F map.

That's the that the program, the initiative that gets money to the states.

Fourth, Medicaid that is used hopefully through the counties and the rest which deal with many of these health issues.

We we did the big major investment last week.

We're very proud of that strongly bipartisan already signed into law families first.

And there will be other initiatives that we want to work with the administration on that may be necessary as we go forward.

Some that that need more discussion, more impact in terms of of Ah, what is the collateral benefit or collateral damage to stopping the spread of the Corona virus?

Now, let me just get back to testing, testing, testing so very important to take inventory.

To understand the PT admit the biological step, the spread of the virus and also to, um, to meet the needs of the people effect.

I'm very pleased also this week that we were able to pass bipartisan FISA bill in the house.

I know that from my intelligence experience and that we were able to pass a ah representives lock ins warp our resolution Rep.

I is the predicate for how we go forward and rep Countess legislation to private funding for military action.
