Katie Porter continues to be an America hero, prods CDC into paying for all COVID-19 tests

She may be the best person elected to the House in a very long time. If she is not on Biden’s VP short list, she should be. She is simply amazing.

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.

I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.

I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.

1. Best questioner in the house, no doubt. And her law professor is the best

questioner in the senate.

Neither one is afraid of the hard work it takes to be prepared.

2. The best...

She's simply the best.

3. CDC and other government agencies are not charging for the processing of tests. Doctors are charging

for seeing a patient and taking a specimen.

5. "commitment from a high-level Trump official" Is that really a thing?

Pardon me for being a little cynical.

7. It appears to really be a thing. Dr. Redfield was the orange anus' pick for CDC Director...

and Dr. Redfield effectively painted the ass into a corner; the orange anus announced it in his Oval Office address, but parsed his words to sound like it was totally his idea.

Looks like Katie Porter plays an exceptional long game.

6. Her Repub opponent in her district has a lot of money to spend

If you want to see her re-elected, donate if you can;

Of course, she isn’t alone among dems, either incumbents or running to replace a Republican, that can use donations. For instance Tedra Cobb and Valerie Plame just to name but two progressive women.
