Sen. Bernie Sanders Outlines $2 Trillion Coronavirus Emergency Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In a speech Tuesday evening, Senator Bernie Sanders made no mention of
his primary losses and instead outlined a $2 trillion coronavirus
emergency plan. His proposal would send $2,000 monthly cash payments to
every U.S. household during the crisis, full unemployment benefits for
laid-off workers, an end to evictions and utility shutoffs, a moratorium
on mortgage and student loan payments, and expanded health coverage
through Medicare. 

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "If you're uninsured, if you are underinsured, if
you have high deductibles, if you have high copayments, if you have
out-of-pocket expenses, Medicare will cover those expenses."
