The U.S. Public Health Service has won congressional authorization for a ready reserve of doctors and nurses to deploy across the country to combat the coronavirus crisis.

"About 3,000 of the corps is actually delivering care on a daily basis to the Indian Health Service, to all the tribes throughout the country, including Alaska, to the Bureau of Prisons, and to those in detention under Immigration and Customs Enforcement," Giroir told NPR. "This whole idea of having a ready reserve has already been on the books since the Affordable Care Act. That in fact was a provision within that act," says retired Rear Admiral Boris Lushniak, who oversaw operations for the U.S. Public Health Service's Commissioned Corps from 2010 to 2015. He says part of the Affordable Care Act was supposed to create a ready reserve, but it got lost in red tape and never happened.
"As veterans from across the military branches, we know reserve units are an essential part of any sustained operation," said Rep. Jared Golden, D-Me."As Members of Congress from across the political spectrum, we agree on the importance of encouraging Americans to serve their community and their country."
