The magnitude of the COVID-19 crisis is extraordinary. It has taxed our health care system like never before, and it has stressed the economy as consumers and businesses limit commerce and adhere to social distancing to reduce the transmission of the disease. These actions have undoubtedly saved lives, but they also have cost millions of jobs – more than 26 million by the latest employment reports. Because nearly 180 million Americans get their health care coverage through their work, it is critical to ensure millions of Americans continue to have employer coverage.
This letter was sent, signed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Council of State Chambers, to the White House, National Governors Association, U.S. Conference of Mayors, the National Association of Counties, and to Congress, on guidance for reopening the economy.
