Pelosi, Schumer says will move to pass another bill with broader relief measures after Congress passes interim emergency coronavirus bill
- To seek $250 billion in assistance to small businesses
- To seek $100 billion for hospitals, community health centers and health systems
- To seek $150 billion for state and local governments to manage virus crisis
They also say that the proposed bill will seek additional support for families with a 15% inrease to the maximum snap benefit.
In any case, the additional relief measures here are said to already been discussed with Mnuchin already so it is likely just a formality but it is at least a shift in the position, with initial discussions touting a number of around $250 billion so this is double that.
