Bernie's sensible solutions

He is working on legislation to address the pandemic. It proposes to pay everyone who has lost their job the same wage they were earning. This provision was in the last Bill for airline workers. Bernie wants to extend that to every worker.

It also proposes that everyone who contracts the virus get all the treatment they need with no out-of-pocket expense through the current Medicare system. Millions who have lost their jobs also lost their health insurance and cannot afford the high cost of treatment. Plus many who are fortunate enough to have any health insurance likely has gaps that leave the patient with uncovered services.

Then there's the issue of health care providers not having the needed equipment to keep themselves safe and treat their patients effectively. So Dump must invoke the Defense Production Act to force private businesses to produce the needed equipment quickly in needed quantities. Which, by the way, said businesses will be financially compensated fairly.

See the video for the rest. Bernie is hard at work presenting the most effective solutions to this tragedy, acting like the true statesman and representative of we the people. Please consider supporting this new legislation by contacting your Senators and Representatives now.
