America’s more than 30 million small businesses — and the nearly 60 million individuals they employ — are the backbone of our nation, but too many are struggling to stay in business as a result of COVID-19. The Paycheck Protection Program is here to help. https://t.co/haUv9JM4Nx https://t.co/csVoMzXokC — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The most important thing that we can do for our nation’s small businesses and their employees is to provide certainty. That’s why President @realDonaldTrump signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program. Learn how this can help your small business: https://t.co/haUv9JM4Nx https://t.co/hjSicY78Q3 — PolitiTweet.org

Insurance companies like @Aetna, @Cigna and @Humana have said they will cover all COVID-19 costs. The last piece of the puzzle is for Congress to end the practice of surprise medical bills being sent to patients who seek care. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress should make sure that patients don’t receive a surprise bill when they seek medical treatment, especially during this COVID-19 crisis when emergency rooms are crowded. In normal times, one of five patients who go to an emergency room receive a surprise bill weeks later. — PolitiTweet.org

The first goal of this new law is to keep paychecks coming, so there are small business loans that may be forgiven to help businesses like the kennel in Blount County, and there are also loans for large businesses to help stabilize the economy and keep their employees working. — PolitiTweet.org

Painful as it is, @GovBillLee is right. Everything I’ve learned as chairman of the U.S. Senate health committee persuades me to support his decision. Staying at home is an essential step one in containing the disease and saving lives. #TNStayApart https://t.co/JEhozGAt9o — PolitiTweet.org
