Pence: No American Worker Should Worry About Missing a Paycheck If They Are Ill

EXCERPT:

PENCE: "Well, first let me say we strongly support the House legislation which, while it gives some flexibility to small businesses, which will be reflected in the regulations going forward, no American worker should worry about missing a paycheck, if they are feeling ill. I mean, we can’t say often enough to our fellow Americans, if you're sick, with a respiratory illness, stay home. As you heard here today, over the course of this next week, we’re going to see testing become much more widely available, beginning in the areas, the CDC will focus us the highest priority, but working with members of Congress who have made sure that not only is testing free, but we have every confidence that the extension of paid and family leave to Americans will be extended in a way that will — should give every American that confidence."
