Congressional and White House leaders have reached a deal to provide $75 billion for hospitals and another $25 billion for testing, according to a report from CNN, as reported by FierceHealthcare.
The funding, which is expected to pass Congress this week and got an endorsement from President Donald Trump, is part of a $484 billion package that would also replenish a small business loan program.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on CNN that the Senate could vote on the package, the text of which hasn’t been released, as early as Tuesday.
