We asked to governor to take swift action to remove barriers to COVID-19 testing and treatment, promote continuity of care for Americans with serious health conditions, and waive rules that require inperson interactions that promote community spread of COVID-19. We also urge the executive branch to enact emergency measures that allow for increased funding for Medicaid and public health services to immediately respond to the current crisis, including taking advantage of newly available federal funding, and consider additional critical measures that will help protect people with pre-existing conditions, given their greater risk of adverse health outcomes during this pandemic.
