Rep. Schrier’s Statement on COVID-19 Relief Package
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08) released the following statement about the COVID-19 relief package and government funding bill:
"My constituents and the American people have been hurting and needing assistance for months. This package does not go far enough. But it has some very important wins for families and small businesses, and we should never let perfect be the enemy of good. Among other wins, this bill will protect patients from surprise bills, one of the many issues I have been fighting for this Congress. This package will also fund the government through September 2021, averting a shutdown like the one we had two years ago. I will be voting in support of this package later today.
Over the coming months, the House, Senate, and President-elect Biden must do everything we can to provide meaningful aid, kickstart our economy, get children back into school, and allow our country to build back better."
