Cost shouldn’t deter people from seeking medical care, especially during a pandemic, and knowing who has COVID-19 is one of the best tools we have to stopping its spread. The Administration is failing to implement free testing for all, a law that is supposed to keep us safe.
In March, I asked @CDCDirector to use his existing legal authority to make COVID testing free for all. Congress then mandated free testing when we the CARES Act *five months* ago. Yet Americans are still getting billed. https://t.co/swqGz0FY9h

.@GileadSciences wants to charge you between $2,300 and $3,100 for their experimental COVID treatment. For reference: Production cost per vial: $1 Taxpayer funding for their research: $70,500,000 (as estimated by @PublicCitizen) Big Pharma's greed will kill Americans.

We are in month six of a public health crisis, and the @US_FDA STILL hasn’t taken meaningful steps to allow healthy gay and bisexual men, as well as other members of the LGBTQ+ community, to donate blood. https://t.co/Nmtcm9hrDZ
Salma’s husband Payam had been waiting years for his visa application to be processed. I’m so glad our office was able to help secure a visa and reunite this family, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. Salma and Payam, congratulations on your newborn. Enjoy every moment!

The coronavirus pandemic didn’t create these gaps in our healthcare system, but it bring them into sharp clarity. Say it with me: healthcare is a human right.

@Jennpo85 Ah, but you haven’t seem hoe much I fit in my mini pantry! A spare grape squeeze in there! Along with emergency peanut butter, syrup, etc
I’m not holding my breath. The report says @SBAgov waited six weeks to answer questions from watchdogs about the PPP. The day before the deadline to respond, they sent information already available on Google. That’s what @SBAJovita thinks is "accountability" to taxpayers. (4/4)
According to the report, small businesses that didn’t need the money returned at least 3,800 loans. How are you going to know if the other 4,576,388 loans are legitimate? Any answers, @stevenmnuchin1 or @SBAJovita? (3/4)

The Government Accountability Office, a non-partisan watchdog, just released a bombshell report on the Paycheck Protection Program (link here for oversight nerds like me). There’s a lot to unpack, but I want to share a few takeaways I’m thinking about: https://t.co/JDfgcjFTgu
Working alongside @CarolynMMaloney in Congress, I see her fight her heart out for her constituents in New York’s 12th District and across the country.

Get this: @FDAgov gave "approval" to antibody tests without proper scientific vetting. Patients looking to the FDA for guidance are no better off than if they just played roulette. At a hearing today, I brought out a Wheel of Antibody Tests to show how ridiculous this is: https://t.co/8RsphJIFEN
