Kayleigh McEnany: The Trump Administration Will Distribute $12 Billion to Covid Hospitals

‘These hospitals have collectively cared for over 70% of the 184,000 Americans that required hospital inpatient care’

EXCERPT:

MCENANY: "So, good afternoon. I have an announcement for you on hospital funding, as appropriated in the third phase of coronavirus relief. The Trump Administration will distribute a total of $12 billion and provide a relief fund payment to 395 hospitals across the country that have been hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. These hospitals have collectively cared for over 70 percent of the 184,000 Americans that required hospital and patient care. $10 billion of the $12 billion will go towards hospitals treating 100 or more COVID-19 admissions. HHS is distributing an additional $2 billion to these 395 hospitals in proportion to the amount of care they provide to low income and uninsured patients. This is consistent with our effort to ensure that Americans who need federal government assistance the most receive it.”
