Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Illinois) introducedH.R. 8200, theEnding Health Disparities during COVID-19 Act of 2020on Friday, September 11 and agreed to include my Medicaid cap repeal language. We learned from testimony in aJune 22 hearing in the House Education and Labor Committeethat the people hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic are those historically subjected to discrimination based on race and ethnicity, gender, physical and mental impairment, socioeconomic class, or place of residence, like people in the insular areas. And they are the most impacted because they are also in the groups with the least access to healthcare. Rep. Kelly's bill addresses that inequity and already has 33 co-sponsors. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
