Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in unveiling the HEALS Act. The $1 trillion Republican bill is the alternative to the House’s HEROES act, the $3 trillion relief legislation passed in May. The HEALS Act is more targeted than the CARES act, tailored to an economy that has “one foot in the pandemic and one foot in the recovery,” according to McConnell. McConnell delayed unveiling the legislation last week after he said the White House had requested more time to review it. McConnell urged Democrats to put aside their “socialist manifesto,” the HEROES Act, and come to the negotiating table.
