if we don't do anything about the social determinants of health, we are going to revisit this with other illnesses over and over and over.
I am deeply concerned by the disparities that this pandemic has brought to light due to our Nation's history of discriminatory policies.
This is a devastating pandemic and not just for health, but also for society, our economy, our jobs, and our livelihood.
I support this legislation because hospitals and small businesses in our communities need relief. Our communities need this bridge over troubled waters. This legislation rightfully invests $300-plus billion into the backbone of our…
