The next COVID-19 relief bill should include more resources for the Provider Relief Fund, additional targeted funding for safety-net hospitals, help with staffing, an extension of the current moratorium on the Medicare sequestration, and forgiveness for safety-net hospitals for loans they received under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program.

This was the message the National Alliance of Safety-Net Hospitals conveyed this week in a letter to congressional leaders.  See that letter here.
