“Not just rich people, but everybody who might have the virus?” Porter asked.Porter then pointed to specific federal regulations that give the CDC director the power to authorize government payments for “the care and treatment of individuals subject to exam and quarantine, isolation and conditional release.”Porter replied, “Great.

Redfield danced around the question, saying, “I can say, we’re gonna do everything we can to make sure everybody…” Porter continued confronting Redfield. While emphasizing each word methodically, she asked: “Will you commit, right now, to using the authority that you have, vested in you, under law, that provides in a public health emergency for testing, treatment, exams, isolation, without cost, yes or no?”
“No,” Porter said. Then the congresswoman spoke about a letter she’d sent to the CDC last week about the authority the director had in providing economic relief for those who need tests and treatment.
