WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) took to the House Floor ahead of today's vote on the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act to urge swift passage of the bill, as American small businesses have gone without access to emergency loans for over a week since Democrats blocked additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
