U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, alongside 10 other Democratic colleagues in the Senate, has introduced a “Health Force” bill aimed at helping to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
The legislation, called The Health Force, Resilience Force, Jobs to Fight COVID-19 Act, would tap those who are unemployed, train them with “basic public health skills” and employ them in their own communities to bolster communities’ response to the coronavirus pandemic. It would specifically aim to recruit people from lower income, minority and marginalized communities.
