As states continue to battle one another and the federal government for needed medical supplies, governors across the country are discussing a multi-state consortium that would increase their purchasing power, cut the competition and quickly get supplies.

In a Wednesday press conference, Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York and vice-chair of the National Governor's Association, told reporters there were talks of states banding together if the federal government continued to resist taking control of the supply chain. Cuomo called a consortium an"Option B," stressing that the federal government's involvement in purchasing and disseminating supplies was still the preferred choice.

"We are never going to solve this problem if states are continually forced to bid against each other and against the federal government," Kansas Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly said earlier this week."It is creating widespread confusion among all the state suppliers, and it is delaying every state's response effort, including Kansas ... it is also driving up the cost of PPE tremendously for every state."California Gov.

Libtard bulshit. NYGovCuomo BilldeBlasio SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer have innocent blood in their hands!

More Fake news. More than enough supplies

If only we had a federal government that could have avoided this kind of thing. Too bad our founding Fathers decided to go with the 'orange baby man who is afraid to make decisions to help people' model of government.

CNN just reported that doctors and nurses exposed to patient who later tests positive for Covid are not being tested. This is not true. I was exposed while treating pt with only gloves. Who later turned out positive and died. I was tested after calling my dr and obtaining order

Maybe a 'union,' where each State was independent but in times of crisis worked together to solve big problems. There could even be an organization set up to lead this group, potentially with the ability to implement rules and regulations unilaterally to move quickly. Oh wait.

😝

“Multi-state consortium”...kinda like a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? Boy, wish we had one of those somewhere

Like the federal government?

Does it involve those other states cutting union negotiated raises to essential employees while their governors get $25,000 raises too?
