President Biden Urges Congress to Lower Health Care Costs, Contrasts Agenda with GOP

President Biden took the stage in New Hampshire on Monday, calling on Congress to collaborate with his administration in the pursuit of reducing health care costs. The President outlined a comprehensive health care agenda that involves expanding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and implementing measures to cap out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors enrolled in Medicare. During his address, Biden drew a sharp contrast between his administration's approach and that of Republican lawmakers, accusing them of seeking to repeal the ACA and jeopardizing essential social safety nets such as social security and Medicare.
