Today’s vote was another bad faith effort by Republicans, who refused to engage in meaningful and bipartisan negotiations all summer. This proposal fails to meet the needs of workers and families who have been struggling for months.
It has no support for food assistance, no relief for renters facing eviction, no funding for state and local governments which are laying off employees because the federal government isn’t helping them.
The Republican bill doesn’t provide any additional money for nursing homes. And it has no investment to help seniors and people with disabilities receive the services they need to stay safe at home,...
...no additional federal funding for Medicaid to help states cover the cost of care for a growing number of those in need through no fault of their own, or for hospitals on the front lines of the pandemic.
Americans are hurting. Republicans need to come to the table to negotiate a bill that provides real relief to families and communities.
