Ron Wright: “And the last thing Congress should be doing is subsidizing bad decisions that have been made at the local level.”

But what is really entertaining to me is to hear over and over again people on the other side saying that the United States is lagging behind.

I would love for Congress to revisit that piece of legislation and reform the bonus so it is more targeted to the people who truly need the help.

There is no doubt that the $600 bonus is retarding the recovery, even in those States that have reopened.

I mean, this is the two--the two points that I really want to drive home in this hearing. The first is that we didn't do enough to protect people in nursing homes who are disproportionately non-White.
