This administration needs to rise to the occasion.
We’re not testing enough people. It’s as simple as that. If we’re going to protect our health care workers, reopen any sector of the economy, and move forward as a nation, we need comprehensive testing.
That’s why I’m introducing a new bill with Bernie Sanders to allocate $75 billion towards the production of testing equipment — allowing our nation to rapidly scale the amount of tests we can perform.
It's incomprehensible to most Americans why our country can't produce masks, why we can't produce swabs, and why we seem so unprepared. The greatest economy in the world shouldn’t be struggling with providing essential goods.
Bernie and I understand that our nation can rise to the occasion. We just have to take powerful action, and take up the mantle of leadership. $75 billion will go a long way towards providing those essential resources to folks that need them.
Thank you for your support,
Ro Khanna
