healthcare systems in south dakota are amazing.hy do you believe they are best suited for driving the first statewide world pandemic research study versus world recognized institutions such as the mayo clinic, harvard, etc.ord, oregon health, any comments from folks out there who recognize how great -- nickel facilities are medical facilities are, but they are questioning why us. gov. noem: sanford is world renowned. they are recognized around the world for this. they are finding solutions to a lot of our biggest healthcare challenges. to have them leading this is phenomenal. i also think that south dakota is the only state that could have possibly done this. to get three healthcare systems to work together and partner in something like this is really unprecedented. and then to have a small population like we do to where we can implement something like this statewide and have a state government and governor who supports it so much that we are willing to partner in it and then to be able to get a relationship with the federal govern

we need more healthcare dollars. right now again it's a healthcare pandemic. if we're going to go back to work and be safe and our families safe and confident and people workers will feel confident going back to work, we have to get our arms around this healthcare pandemic. we also i believe have to make it very clear that for the doctors and nurses and everybody on the front lines, everybody on the front lines that we are not only grateful but that we are giving them what they need and part of what we're making as a priority for this next round is something that senator peters and i have been involved in. he may want to speak more to this but the idea of hazard pay, a heroes fund. for the doctors and nurses and mail carriers and grocery store clerks and people working law enforcement and the delivery people and so on, it's wonderful to say thank you and is a prayers, but we need to make them whole financially for themselves and their families. and that is a big priority for us in this next round. >> thank you so much. senator peters do you want to weigh in or

these teams are made up of ems technicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. having these resources available for rapid deployment makes a big difference in the long-term care facility system and it is something we have already gotten positive feedback from a number of community providers as a result. the covid-19 outbreak is undoubtedly -- has undoubtedly put a strain on the dedicated workers who take care of our most vulnerable seniors. staff shortages are likely to occur in facilities as more employees test positive for covid-19. to meet staffing needs, the administration has stood up the long-term care portal to match individuals that have registered through the portal that the staffing request submitted by facilities. we have announced a $1000 signing bonus for all individuals registering through that portable -- portal and we have cap into the volunteer portal. support,s management we have contacted a firm that specializes in crisis management. they will be available to provide facilities with on-site operational support to assist with staffing, vendors,

healthcare is not a privilege.the way, when we move, in my view, to medicare for all, we're going to save substantial sums of money for the average person because we're not working to provide huge profits for the drug companies and insurance companies. >> stephen: i would go you one further and say that healthcare is not just a human right, but it's actually go t general welfare, because the people of means who do have health insurance and can sta who can do the right thing that we all know to do, which is to stay home. but if you don't have healthcare, if you can't stay home, you will spread the disease. this is about the entire society being benefited by every single person in it having what they need. >> absolutely right. and, again, it's not only that we are-- i should say that not only are you right on that point. we're the only major country on earth, embarrassingly, and we have to deal with it, that doesn't provide paid family and medical leave. so your point is-- and let's underline this a dozen times-- whe

for stepping up to make these announcements and this healthcare possible. i sent a letter to vice president mike pence about the shortage of supplies and medication used to provide covid-19 patients. we have dangerously low-levels of the medications required to safely place patients on ventilators and insure sufficient sedation and pain relief while they remain on ventilators. these medications are just as important as the ventilators themselves. specifically, i asked the vice president to improve coordination across all agencies to insure a steady supply of these essential medications as quickly as possible and to direct the d.e.a. to allow for more of these drugs to be produced. i was pleased to see that following my request, the d.e.a. announced that it will temporarily allow for increesd production of medications, used in treating covid-19 patients and that they would improve increased imports of medications as necessary for patient who are on ventilators. if also sign -- i've also signed a few executive orders. i've signed one to suspend requirements r

healthcare workers are on the front line and it's essential they get vaccinated. so they can protect themselves and work safely and so they don't spread it to other patients and other healthcare workers. that's the kind of discussion we'll need to have over the coming months. when the h1n1 vaccine came, we were able to get that out rapidly once it was available due to the vaccine for children program for all americans. not just children. you need to get it through the system quickly. there are public systems like vaccines for children that work with the private sector and there are the usual patterns. what you don't want to have happen is that somebody gets it because their insurer or their doctor or their state has more pull with the manufacturer. i think we can all understand waiting, there's a fair way to decide who gets it first and that's an important national discussion. we don't have to have that discussion yet but it's a great time to think about that. thank you for that. steve: let me follow up mary's question and ask you about the different strains of th

bottom line is, we need a healthcare system and a public healthcare system, designed to protect the americaneople. that's the main focus, not a system designed to make huge profits for the drugs companies and insurance companies. when i talk about that, there are many parts of this country in rural areas where hospitals have been shut down, where i don't know how people are going to access the health care they need during this crisis. they'll have to travel 100 miles to find a hospital or an emergency room. we need a health care system designed to provide quality care to all people in urban america, in rural america, and we can do that in a much more cost effective way than the current system dominated by the profiteering of the insurance companies and the drug companies. >> senator sanders, stay right there. we'll have more when we come back. >>> this white house, and cdc expected to urge americans to wear face masks when we leave the house you're watching msnbc. . i thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohn's disease. until i realized something was missing... me. you ok, sis? my s
