  • today.

  • I would like to give a brief overview what, in my view, we must do to respond to this crisis.

  • First and foremost, we are dealing with a national emergency and the president of the United States must understand that.

  • And if you play on that emergency next because President Trump is unwilling or unable, Khalid selflessly, we must immediately convene an emergency bi partisan authority of experts to support and director response that is comprehensive, compassionate and based first and foremost on science.

  • In fact, in other words, Congress in a bipartisan manner, must take responsibility for addressing this unparalleled prices.

  • Further, we must aggressively make certain that the public sector and the private sector are strongly cooperating with each other.

  • And we need national and state hotlines staff with well trained people who have the best information available.

  • One of the aspects of the current crisis is there are people who are asking themselves what, over something off Corona virus.

  • So I have a cold.

  • So I have the flu.

  • I have the core buyers who is gonna help me.

  • Where do I go?

  • The seek medical treatment.

  • How does one get a test?

  • When is that test going to be processed.

  • People have a lot of questions, and at the state point and federal level, we need experts to provide the necessary information to our people.

  • The American people deserve transparency, something that the current administration has fought day after day, the cycle.

  • In other words, we need to know what is happening right now in our country, in the States and in fact all over the world.

  • If there was ever a time for transparency and honesty and being straightforward, this is that moment.

  • And we need that information coming from credible, respected scientific voices, of which we have many in our own country and all over this world, not from politicians.

  • And during a crisis, we must make sure that we have, for the community's most vulnerable the health and economic pain that is coming.

  • Those in nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities, those confined immigration detention centers, those who are currently incarcerated in in jails and all people, regardless off their immigration status.

  • Unfortunately, as I think the American people increasingly understand, our country is at a severe disadvantage compared to every other major country on Earth because we do not guarantee healthcare.

  • Old people as a right and as we speak, some 87 million Americans are either uninsured or underinsured.

  • And when you are uninsured or underinsured, you hesitate about getting the medical care you need because you cannot afford to get that medical care.

  • The result is that millions of other people I cannot afford to go to a doctor, let alone pay for Corona virus test.

  • So while we work to pass a Medicare for all single pay on system, the United States government today, what's making clear that in the midst of this emergency, everyone in our country regard was off income or where they live must be able to get all off the health care they need without cost?

  • Obviously, when a vaccine or other effective treatment is developed, it must be free of charge.

  • We cannot live in a nation where if you have the money, you get the treatment you need to survive.

  • But if you're working class or poor, you get to the end off the line.

  • That would more be morally unacceptable.

  • Funny, we need emergency funding right now for paid family and medical leave.

  • Anyone who is sick should be able to stay home during this emergency and received their paychecks.

  • What we do not want to see is at a time when half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck when they need to go to work in order to take care of the family.

  • We do not want to see people going to work, who wants sick and who can spread off the Corona bars.

  • We also need an immediate expansion of community health sentence in this country so that every American will have access to a nearby help camp facility.

  • Where I go, How do I get a test?

  • How do I get the results of that test need greatly to expand our primary healthcare capabilities in this country, and that includes expanding community health centers.

  • We need to determine the status of our testing and processing for the Corona virus.

  • The government must respond aggressively to make certain that we, in fact have the latest and most effective tests available and the quickest means of processing those tests.
