Rep. Katie Porter writing the cost of testing on a white board while grilling the CDC's Redfield.
Porter got Redfield, after he punted several times, to agree that CDC would cover the costs of coronavirus testing for all Americans, regardless of whether they have health insurance: "I think you're an excellent questioner so my answer is yes." c-span.org/video/?470277-…
Part of what's good about this is Porter's recognition that a congressional hearing is theater. It's for public consumption. She used a prop to communicate the cost of tests and the public setting to get Redfield to commit. Kind of ideal oversight. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
