WEAR — Senator Rick Scott released the following statement calling on the attorneys general in all 50 states to take action against price-gouging on personal protective equipment.
Personal protective equipment is one of the most important tools our healthcare workers and first responders have to protect themselves, and I continue to hear from hospitals and law enforcement officials that there is a limited supply and they are being price-gouged. This is unacceptable.
The Se. Scott also asked Attorney General Barr to immediately implement a federal process to take action against the criminals, he said in a statement.
