Republicans have opposed federal help for blue states dealing with the economic fallout of COVID-19.

From the April 27 edition of "The Hugh Hewitt Show":

REP. STEVE SCALISE (R-LA): Well, you know, look, what was missed in that interview that you did with Mitch [McConnell] is Mitch talked about all the money that's already out there.

There's, like you mentioned, trillions of dollars that have been passed, and only a liberal state that had already had their own problems prior to COVID-19 would be talking about more money as Congress is on the verge of voting for another bill that had over $400 billion in aid to our small businesses who are struggling, to hospitals who are struggling.

And we're also talking, the president's talking on down about having hospitals do elective surgeries again, which, by the way, Hugh, that's something that's critical to people's public health.

You know, left out in this discussion about health as it relates to finding a cure for COVID-19 and better ways to deal with social distancing is that there are millions of people that aren't getting colonoscopies and mammograms and other lifesaving procedures that would find something early that could ultimately save their life.
