Big day today, voting on ARPA funding for MA! This means: ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ -> ๐ฅ+๐๏ธ+๐ซ+๐+๐ท+ (covid test emoji?)
Time for an amendment run down! 1/๐งต

S/O to @TamiGouveiaMA who filed amendment #10 to make antigen tests FREE OF CHARGE and amendment #14 to increase testing funding from $30M -> $75M
Testing should be universally available to anyone who needs it, for free. 2/๐งต
