Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Schumer, Minority Leader McConnell, and Minority Leader McCarthy:
We, the undersigned organizations, extend our sincere appreciation to Congress for its unwavering support of frontline health care providers since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we are encouraged by the recent downward trend of COVID-19 infections and deaths, along with significant progress in vaccinations, we recognize that the months ahead will continue to present obstacles and challenges for both health care providers and the patients they serve.
