The Democratic House of Legislation has delayed a meeting for establishing a bill to install free testing for the coronavirus on Thursday. This bill will include free coronavirus testing paid sick leave, food aid, and unemployment benefits. This bill will strengthen unemployment insurance as a response to the worsening outbreak’s economic impact on people across the United States.
18 million without health care, potentially infected and passing it on. Their lack of health care can affect all of us. This is not a serious policy for the richest nation in the world in the 21st century. It’s time to cover everybody in this country. Sanders and Warren were the only ones willing to do it. Too bad voters can’t see it and corporate media are selling us, Biden, instead.
The national healthcare issue has been around for decades. It’s not just a Bernie or Warren issue. If ever there was a time to pound this issue home, it’s now. One president tried to improve healthcare, and that was Obama. We need Congress to quit playing games and finish what Obama started!
We need to be prepared for what’s next. In reality, the world governments need to be prepared to print money, impose martial law, and deal with inflation later. Solutions that some might consider “for the short term” actually are for the long term. If we let the economy collapse now, it’ll stay collapsed later. Further, we need to put a moratorium on foreclosures and banks calling in small business loans. If this turns into the transference of wealth situation the fallout will be incredible.
