Fact-checking Biden's rollout of plan to address 'twin crises' of economy, pandemic

President-elect Joe Biden laid out a $1.9 trillion dollar plan Thursday night to address what he’s calling the "twin crises" of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economy.

Biden proposed that Congress allocate funds for implementing a national vaccination program, reopening schools, sending $1,400 checks to Americans who need them, providing support for small businesses and extending unemployment insurance. He also proposed raising the minimum wage, increasing subsidies for Affordable Care Act insurance coverage, and providing more assistance for housing, nutrition and child care.
