Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., has reintroduced the “No Taxpayer Dollars for Communist Chinese COVID Tests Act,” a bill aiming to prohibit the use of federal funds for the purchase of at-home COVID-19 tests from China.
The legislation seeks to prevent the use of taxpayer dollars for tests imported from, manufactured in, or obtained from a subsidiary of a company in the communist People’s Republic of China.
Scott emphasized the importance of supporting domestic production and avoiding financial support to Communist China by opting for American-made COVID tests.
