As Democrats work their next job hilfspaket crown, two members of workers to ensure the received home health care protection work they need because they care for patients during the ongoing pandemic. Repetitions. Joaquín Castro and Deb Haaland a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and leader Kevin McCarthy minority on Thursday sent the leaders pushing expressly to define both the workers of home care and child care essential workers employed in the next survey and to ensure this, employees are equipped with free personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks and gloves, danger pay, and plans to affordable health care available, mental health and services include the examination. “It ‘s important that we have in house facilities and community care, and that health care providers have had to invest the benefits and resources to fight COVID-19,” Haaland and Castro wrote Pelosi and McCarthy in the letter, which was the first time in tIME. “The first three COVID-19 relief bills largely neglected the needs of carers and those whose care needs can be served in their homes the best.” Stay up to date on the growing threat to global health, with the signing every day for our newsletter crown. Governors of some states like California, has already called home health care workers as essential workers. But according to the federal level, such as the definition of which CARES Act, which President Trump has signed into law on March 27, it is still relatively vague. To get these workers to ensure the provisions, Haaland and Castro Urge “Congressional leaders to adopt a definition of expansive, which is an essential element of work” means that workers in home care and teachers. By defining these workers as an essential element, Castro said, it would make them automatically to the potential benefits of the government to participate in the next round of legislation. “If we, as a look at pay for things danger to essential workers, I believe that we as examine issues such as family medical leave and extended leave, this essential workers believe will benefit most,” Castro said in an interview. “These health care professionals at home and health care professionals essential condition for a long time have been. But they are even more important during this pandemic.” Even in countries where these workers are considered essential, supporters say they do not receive the investment that the government Federal allocated for them. The care law allocates $100 billion in tax revenues for the broader health sector, the crown to fight the pandemic. This was followed by an interim funding bill that included an additional $75 billion, Trump signed into law on April 24. But the home healthcare sector has received something from this fund, says William Dombi, president of the National Association for Home Care and Hospice. “Say point congressional action: We think the money should be gehen’scheint this path, it is necessary at this point,” said Dombi. “While we are obviously in extreme speed in this pandemic … nothing has happened so far is the fact that indicates that these workers were given the respect they truly deserve.” In his letter to McCarthy and Pelosi, Castro and Haaland shot before the protections for these workers through registration are already allocated funds and expand the Federal Weather infrastructure help of their assault on the pandemic. In addition to the provisions of supporting the Democrats have long abandoned the extension of custody of affordable child medical and paid were touting, they are offering grants to nonprofit organizations so they can hire more workers, and leave the financing of programs transition for the elderly and disabled institutional contexts. “The gross inequality and the fragmented nature of our social welfare and health systems blatant than ever, and nowhere more apparent than in the absence of support for our nation of caregivers,” they wrote. The implementation of the Act has been no cure bumps in the road. The protection program paycheck, which was conceived with potentially repayable loan services for small companies to keep workers on the payroll, was within two weeks of money, and outrage followed after it was discovered that some of the funds for large restaurant chains such as shake Shack went and Ruth’s Chris Steak House. And while the unemployment rate bill extended, millions of Americans have always had problems government agencies, access to benefits. In part to alleviate other problems, as more workers seek access to a safety net that does not come with an increase well Haaland and Castro also suggested in his letter to Pelosi that McCarthy and the web portal of the Government and for all app the main determining employee access to create and load the necessary resources and their suitability for certain programs and tests. The site would help one part of the larger initiative of his workers. Their proposals, even if they support a large group of Democrats led Republicans by far not always right in the Senate. While the co-sponsors seven-letter, all Democrats, although a senior aide to Castro, was distributed in two parts. Democrats for an extended family leave provisions paid pushed into second package of aid to ensure the crown CARE Act requires plucked, only to see them his step. “It is a [trying to help this group], but it is clearly on one side of the aisle – the Democrats,” says Combi. Both parties should actually materialize together for one of these tapes ideas. Castro, for example, remains confident it will happen. “I do not see this as a partisan issue. These people are in every congressional district in the country,” he says. “We have in a bipartisan way to be able to get behind them.” Please send tips, leads and stories from the front to [email protected].
