Unfortunately, President Trump continues to refuse to put in place a national strategy for moving forward.

It ensures that all COVID-19 treatment is free without cost-sharing for all Americans.

This failure of leadership at the national level has forced States to fend for themselves.

The HEROES Act also puts in place clear guidelines for how an additional $100 billion in resources for the Provider Relief Fund should be distributed.

I think that Democrats on the Energy and Commerce Committee... really do not trust the President to implement any kind of national strategy.

The HEROES Act requires clear benchmarks and timelines and brings public accountability to this entire process.

If we don't have a national czar and we don't have these national policies in place with specific benchmarks and transparency, we're going to have the same problem with vaccines.

While the President continues to abdicate his responsibility, House Democrats once again took bold action last month by passing the HEROES Act.

The Senate should act on this legislation immediately. We simply cannot beat this virus without these efforts in place.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I rise today in strong support of the HEROES Act. Our top priority is the health and safety of the American people, and the HEROES Act lays the foundation we will need to safely reopen the economy…

Dr. Bright, your allegations are serious. They deserve a real investigation.

We should be conducting rigorous oversight of the trillions of dollars, and myriad of new policies Congress has appropriated and enacted in the last three months.
