President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders teamed up Tuesday afternoon at an event in Concord, New Hampshire, to tout a new report showing Medicare enrollees saved nearly $1 billion on their prescription drugs so far in 2024 through the Inflation Reduction Act.
Biden warned that this progress could be undone if Trump wins in November.
“Trump and MAGA Republicans want to eliminate the Inflation Reduction Act, which we’re talking about, the big bill which made all these savings possible, raising prescription drug prices again for millions of Americans,” he said.
Biden said Trump and the GOP have tried to replace the Affordable Care Act 51 times and mocked the former president for having only a “concept of a plan.”
Biden said if Harris isn’t elected, Trump will “kick 45 million people off their health insurance,” give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans, get rid of the Department of Education and gut Social Security and Medicare.
