Chapter 7 compares and evaluates the major government policies adopted during the pandemic in the United States and other major countries as they affected vulnerable and disadvantaged populations. It documents key provisions of the following US federal legislation: the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriation (2020), the Families First Coronavirus Relief and Security (CARES) Act (2020), the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (2020), the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021, and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act, 2021 to assess their approach. The chapter concludes that the $5 trillion federal aid pandemic investment averted an economic meltdown of historic proportions and provided much needed economic and medical assistance to many Americans but with the exception of some provisions of the American Rescue Plan the aid was not targeted to assist vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.
