Washington state — the epicentre of the virus in the US — is making #coronavirus #COVIDー19 testing free for people who don’t have insurance. Hope people are also able to get sick pay if they need to be tested / quarantinedhttps://twitter.com/cmkshama/status/1235690332680884224 …
Apparently people w/o insurance in Washington are still being told they’ll need to pay $250 to be tested, despite governor saying tests would be free for uninsured? https://twitter.com/rottenindenmark/status/1237897055164436483?s=21 …
Yes, the need for paid leave during Coronavirus quarantine is a big unresolved issue. Though the labor movement fought for & won paid sick leave in WA, it's limited. Many workers are left out. Esp contract workers. We need to publicly demand corporations pay for quarantine leave.
Can you focus your fight a bit more on this for faster results?
Companies already pay into @PaidLeaveWA. Why can't the state just allow all those sick or sent home for safety apply?
It could bankrupt the trust but workers pay for it and so do their bosses. Let folks use it.
Inslee said that workman's comp is guaranteed for all first responders & healthcare workers who contract the virus via workplace. Also testing copays and fees will be waived for insured patients. Hope these policies & more are borne out in practice.
