Sanders Joins Over 50 Democrats in Introducing Legislation to Send N95 Masks to Every American
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) joined more than 50 of his Democratic colleagues in reintroducing “lifesaving legislation to manufacture and distribute highly-protective N95 masks to every person in America.”
The Masks for All Act was first introduced in 2020. Fifteen senators co-sponsored the act.
“As we face the rapidly spreading omicron variant, we should remember that not all face masks are created equal,” Sanders said in a statement.
He added, “Congress must demand the mass production and distribution of N95 masks, one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of the Covid virus.”
Sanders called it a “scandal” that in the “richest country in the history of the world, high-quality masks are not more readily available to frontline workers, health care workers, and all Americans.” – READ MORE
