President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held their first joint event since Biden exited the 2024 race and endorsed her to take his place atop the Democratic ticket.
The two walked out together to cheers to deliver remarks on stage at Prince George’s County Community College in Maryland about the economy and what their administration has done to alleviate costs for Americans.
That includes the administration’s announcement earlier Thursday that the Department of Health and Human Services reached an agreement on price negotiations for 10 commonly used drugs that they say will save Medicare enrollees $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs when the new prices go into effect in 2026.
“We know it is not just about health care, it is about your dignity,” Biden said of the policy. “It’s about peace of mind. It’s about security. It’s about taking care of your family. It’s about giving folks just a little bit more breathing room.”
It’s bad that some people will die without ever getting helped.
That is currently happening. At least now there is help coming in the future.
Sure, but until help comes, people die without dignity. I don’t think that’s being taken seriously.
Youre right. Since grandma died of diabetes it would be unfair to try and fix it in the future.
Only if the biden administration creates a time machine to go back and save my grandma should we try something as ridiculous as saving lives in the future.
No, it’s unfair to leave grandma to die because she won’t live to an arbitrary date in the future.
So lets not be satisfied with 2026 and continue to push for this change ASAP. Instead of “thank you” say “it’s a good start”.
You could have written that as a top comment instead of whining, and then people would be agreeing with you instead of finding you irritating and dismissing your words.
It isn’t my fault that blue MAGA jumped to conclusions. 🙄
It is, really, you are a poor communicator here and many people recognize you from aggressively bothsidesing in other discussions so you’re starting with a disadvantage. Pretending things like “blue MAGA” exist isn’t helping your case.
Blue MAGA are the cultists that attack anyone who criticizes Democrats for any reason, even when Democrats do genocide and militarize the border and refuse to reform the Supreme Court.
They’re down voting because I’m making them mad by pointing these things out. I’m not going to coddle them. I’ll just take my down votes - it’s not like internet points matter lol
