Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (IN-08) released the following statement on introduction of the Commitment to Defeat the Virus and Keep America Healthy Act (H.R. 14), introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) and House Republican leadership to provide relief to the American people from COVID-19, which includes six bills authored and co-authored by Dr. Bucshon: While House Democrats led by Speaker Pelosi have continued to play politics with the livelihoods of Americanswith Speaker Pelosi's my way or the highway approach in negotiating a COVID-19 relief package,HouseRepublicans have been working on solutions to the many challenges COVID-19 has created. This legislation is a comprehensive package that brings together commonsense legislation from both sides of the aisle that has been worked on for almost a year now. Not only will this bill provide needed help, but it will set the stage to be prepared should another pandemic come to our shores. I am pleased that this comprehensive bill includes important legislation that I have been working on in a bipartisan manner that incorporates the need for increased rapid testing, access to an affordable COVID-19 vaccine, liability protection for doctors volunteering across state lines, and many other vital reforms neededto address the COVID-19 health crisis and use the lessons learned to be better prepared for a future pandemic. I urge Speaker Pelosi to bring the House of Representatives back to Washington immediatelyto get this bill passed for the American people.
