A cikin Amurka, COVID-19 ya tsananta rashin daidaituwa kuma ya haɓaka buƙatunmu na ingantaccen tsaro na gwamnati kamar yadda manya a cikin miliyoyin iyalai ke fuskantar rashin aikin yi kwatsam (wanda, tare da rashin samun damar cin abincin yaransu a makaranta, na iya haifar da ga rashin tsaro na abinci a cikin gida) da kuma kawo ƙarshen ƙarancin tsaro na su wanda ba na duniya ba, inshorar kiwon lafiya na aiki (Ahmed, Ahmed, Pissarides, & Stiglitz, 2020; Coven & Gupta, 2020; van Dorn, Cooney, & Sabin, 2020).

Tabbas, karancin abinci a cikin Amurka a lokacin COVID-19 shima ya yi yawa.

Don haka don samar da cikakkiyar ƙungiya don haɓaka jindadin jama'a da adalci na duk 'yan ƙasa, Shugaba-zaɓaɓɓen Biden na iya son yin la’akari da rattaba hannu kan Yarjejeniyar Hakkokin Yara (CRC) jim kaɗan bayan fara aiki, musamman idan lokaci don ba wa 'yan ƙasar mu zaɓi na jama'a don kula da lafiya zai daɗe.
