Today’s bipartisan, bicameral agreement on a $8.3 billion emergency #coronavirus response funding package will allow us to deliver the coordinated, whole-of-government response needed to keep Americans safe.
This agreement includes:
-$3 billion for treatment & vaccine development
-$2.2 billion in public health funding for prevention, preparedness & response
-$300 million to ensure Americans’ access to the vaccine
Further, the bill takes steps to prevent price-gouging of these medicines developed with taxpayer dollars, and allows an estimated $7 billion in low-interest SBA loans to small businesses impacted by this epidemic.
The House will now move swiftly to pass this vital #coronavirus emergency response package.

Now more than ever, we need the truth. And the truth is that Donald Trump dismantled the infrastructure handed to him which was meant to plan for and overcome a pandemic, resulting in unnecessary deaths and economic disaster.
The truth is that in January Donald Trump was warned about this pandemic, ignored those warnings, took insufficient action and caused unnecessary death and disaster.
The truth is that Donald Trump told his most loyal followers that the pandemic was a hoax and that it would magically disappear, thus endangering lives and paving the way for economic disaster.

Congressional Democrats are united in our commitment to using all tools available to fight the coronavirus outbreak like the health crisis it is & make sure workers are protected from the loss of a paycheck or that no family falls into financial ruin because of this pandemic.
Any economic stimulus proposal must include new, strong and strict provisions that prioritize and protect workers, such as banning the recipient companies from buying back stock, rewarding executives and laying off workers.

Today, we will pass the Families First Coronavirus Response Act after reaching an agreement with the Administration. This legislation builds on the action that House Democrats took last week to put #FamiliesFirst with our strong, bipartisan $8.3 billion emergency funding package.
#FamiliesFirst is about testing, testing, testing. To stop the spread of the virus, we have secured free #coronavirus testing for everyone who needs a test, including the uninsured.
For families’ economic security, #FamiliesFirst secures paid emergency leave with two weeks of paid sick leave and up to three months of paid family and medical leave. We have also secured enhanced Unemployment insurance for those who lose their jobs.
