| 摘要： | President Joe Biden is on a multistate tour to promote his infrastructure bill. He has signaled in recent weeks that he is ready to negotiate with Republicans, who have replied to his multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure bill with a slimmed-down $568 billion proposal focusing on traditional infrastructure and proposing user fees instead of new taxes to pay for the improvements. One of the big areas of discussion, in both Congress and the press, has been what constitutes "infrastructure." Most members and the public understand it to mean roads, bridges, ports, broadband, railways, energy, water supply and other physical infrastructure. Since there has long been strong bipartisan support for infrastructure spending, the Biden administration is trying to include certain health-care related measures under the "infrastructure" rubric. A fact sheet published by the White House in advance of Biden s May 6 speech in Louisiana supporting his proposal listed caregiving, childcare and veterans' health among his "infrastructure" items. |
