The Covid emergency is over, thanks largely to vaccines and therapies. But Health Minister Xavier Becerra on Wednesday extended the national public health emergency by another 90 days. Why? Because permanent crisis means more dependence on the state.
The Trump administration declared a Public Health Service Act emergency on January 31, 2020 to reduce red tape for health care providers. But then Congress tied an expansion of Medicaid and food stamps to the declaration. Now the progressives don’t want the state of emergency to end.
