RECOVERY LEGISLATION PROVIDES HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY TO The recovery legislation that policymakers will consider this year marks a historic opportunity to help drive an equitable recovery in which (1) all children can reach their full potential; (2) workers in low-paid jobs or facing weak labor market prospects have the supports they need; and (3) we take large strides toward universal healthcoverage.
