In a blistering five-minute grilling, she secured free testing for everyone - regardless of insurance (via toofab)
"Do you want to know who has the coronavirus and who doesn't? Not just rich people, but everyone who has the virus?""Dr Redfield, are you familiar with 42 CFR 71.30?" Dr Redfield was stumped, and Rep Porter started to get irked.
After more silence from the director, she spelled it out for him: He has the power to authorize payment for the care and treatment for individuals subject to medical exam, quarantine, isolation and conditional release."Great, so you're familiar," Porter powered on.
"No. Not good enough. Reclaiming my time. Dr Redfield, you have the authority," she said, before posing the question again. "Will you commit, right now, to using the authority you have, vested in you, under law, that provides in a public health emergency for testing, treatment, exam, isolation, without cost — yes or no?"
"No. Reclaiming my time." Rep Porter then told him she and her colleagues wrote to him a week ago, highlighting this power he had and asking him to invoke it, and got no response. So she posed the question a third time.
