other supplies to help Venezuela in its fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

– Progressive
Maryland is gearing up for a summer of healthcare action starting with a phone bank
on Wed., July 15 from 6 to 8 PM. RSVP here:
https://secure.everyaction.com/BPzljP6fUkm19GqhB3dDcA2. It’s time for Maryland’s Congressional delegation to
sponsor, lead and push their colleagues to sign on two important measures: The
Medicare Crisis Program Act (H.R. 6674) and the Healthcare Emergency Guarantee
Act (H.R. 6906 and S. 3790). These bills would empower Medicare to pay
all of the costs of Covid-related treatment for the uninsured and cover all
out-of-pocket costs for those with public or private insurance, for as long as
this pandemic continues. We need these kinds of remedies to help all the
individuals and families who are struggling to get the care they need.
Unfortunately, too many Senators and House Members are looking to the
Worker Health Coverage Protection Act (H.R. 6514) as the best solution. The
bill doesn’t do the job as it simply expands COBRA subsidies and would expose
already-suffering workers to huge premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
