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.”
The dignity of people who die before 2026 doesn’t matter I guess.
Everything except exactly what I want immediately when I want it is bad.
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. 🙄
