Late yesterday, Representatives Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH) sent a letter to HHS Secretary Becerra urging equitable relief for senior living providers, and were joined by 57 other members of Congress (34 Democrats and 23 Republicans). This was an exceptional bipartisan show of support from Congress and accompanies the Senate letter led by Senators Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Susan Collins (R-ME) that drew a full quarter of the chamber (11 Democrats and 14 Republicans). Both Representative Spanberger and Senator Sinema issued press releases (House, Senate) to highlight the strong show of support on this issue.
