Vice President Harris is poised to continue the push for progressive health care policies that Democrats have been advocating for during President Biden’s tenure. While the Inflation Reduction Act made significant strides in addressing drug pricing, there were still many policies left unaddressed. Progressives were disappointed with the Medicare drug price negotiation program, which fell short of their expectations, and the effort to expand Medicare benefits to include services like home care was abandoned.
President Biden’s support for the Affordable Care Act marked a stark departure from former President Trump’s attempts to dismantle it. Harris plans to build on this foundation by extending premium subsidies that have helped lower monthly payments for many Americans. She also aims to find a solution to provide coverage for low-income individuals in states that have not expanded Medicaid under the ACA.
