Biden: Current vaccine rollout 'a dismal failure'

President-elect Joe Biden called current rollout of coronavirus vaccine "a dismal failure" as he highlighted his $1.9 trillion plan to combat pandemic and provide additional relief.

plan, which would require congressional approval, is packed with proposals on health care, education, labor and cybersecurity. Here's a look at some of highlights:

- A $20 billion national program would establish community vaccination centers across U.S. and send mobile units to remote communities. Medicaid patients would have ir costs covered by federal government, and administration says it will take steps to ensure all people in U.S. can receive vaccine for free, regardless of ir immigration status.

- An additional $50 billion would expand testing efforts and help schools and governments implement routine testing. Or efforts would focus on developing better treatments for COVID-19 and improving efforts to identify and track new strains of virus

- Stimulus checks of $1,400 per person in addition to $600 checks Congress approved in December. By bringing payments to $2,000 - an amount Democrats previously called for - administration says it will help families meet basic needs and support local businesses.

- A temporary boost in unemployment benefits and a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures would be extended through September.

- federal minimum w would be raised to $15 per hour from current rate of $7.25 per hour.

- An emergency measure requiring employers to provide paid sick leave would be reinstated. administration is urging Congress to keep requirement through Sept. 30 and expand it to federal employees.

- child care tax credit would be expanded for a year, to cover half cost of child care up to $4,000 for one child and $8,000 for two or more for families making less than $125,000 a year. Families making between $125,000 and $400,000 would get a partial credit.

- $15 billion in federal grants to help states subsidize child care for low-income families, along with a $25 billion fund to help child care centers in danger of closing.
