TL/DR –
The Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act has led to Medicare announcing price cuts for 15 prescription drugs, a significant part of President Joe Biden’s agenda. The drugs were chosen for negotiation during Biden’s term, with the assertion that any upcoming increases in healthcare costs for Americans can be attributed to Biden’s legacy, not Donald Trump, who is reportedly against the legislation that reduced the price of the drugs. It is also stated that Trump resisted extending the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits, with Americans blaming Trump and Republicans for the increase in healthcare premiums by a 26-point margin.
Medicare has revealed plans for reducing the prices of 15 prescription drugs, an outcome from the implementation of the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, which is a crucial part of President Joe Biden’s policy objectives.
It’s worth noting that the drugs that are now seeing price cuts were chosen for negotiation back in January, when Biden was still in the presidential seat. This implies that the imminent increase in healthcare costs for millions of U.S. citizens can only be cushioned by Biden’s policy, not by Donald Trump. This is despite Trump’s intent to abolish the legislation that was instrumental in reducing the prices of these medications.
Trump had previously opposed the White House’s failed attempt to lengthen the Affordable Care Act’s premium tax credits, saying that he didn’t want to extend them for two years, but rather, he preferred not to extend them at all.
Americans, by a 26-point margin, attribute healthcare premium increases to Trump and his Republican allies.
DNC Communications Director Rosemary Boeglin made a statement in response to this situation:
“The only actions Trump can take credit for during his term that lowered costs or improved healthcare are those initiated by President Biden. As the date when 22 million Americans’ healthcare premiums surge draws nearer, Trump has reaffirmed his intent to stop enhanced ACA tax credits, effectively quashing any chances of mitigating the effect. It’s a stark contrast: Biden’s policies continue to benefit working families, while Trump aims to increase your healthcare costs.”
