Over the course of the past five months, millions of American workers have lost their health insurance as the coronavirus pandemic has ignited a jobs bloodbath and threatened wide layers of the population with destitution.

For 15 straight weeks, more than a million people have filed for unemployment insurance. An estimated 32 million Americans are currently receiving federal and state financial aid.
