We are the only major country not to guarantee paid medical leave—that is beyond pathetic. We need to provide it for every worker in America.

This bill was far from perfect, and we must go much further. But Democrats did a good job standing up to Trump and McConnell to make sure this relief package got help to workers, small businesses, hospitals, and states and cities that desperately need it.

We must not forget that 27,000 young Dreamers work as doctors, nurses, paramedics, pharmacists, and other health providers as we are fighting the coronavirus pandemic. We have got to stand with them and block Trump's insane effort to end the DACA program.

In the midst of this economic downturn goal, the goal right now must be for the government to make whole and protect all of the working families in this country.

It is an outrage that debt collectors are garnishing wages and Social Security checks for unpaid medical bills and student loans. We must cancel all medical and student debt—and stop all debt collection right now. A pandemic is not a time for greed.

I think the American people are united on this: We need policies now which benefit the working families of this country, that benefit low-income people, that benefit the most vulnerable.

How do the geniuses at Trump’s EPA respond to Americans dealing with a deadly respiratory disease? They allow power plants and factories to spew even more air pollution! Absolutely obscene.

The American people increasingly understand that now is the time to think boldly and act decisively. We must move rapidly to a Medicare for All, single-payer system that treats health care as a human right.
