Washington DC — This afternoon, Kamala Harris is set to outline her economic plan to lower costs and give hardworking families more room to breathe. Her plan builds on the health care victories of the Biden-Harris administration to lower prescription drug costs, extend the Inflation Reduction Act’s drug savings to everyone, and relieve medical debt for millions. The plan also cracks down on big drug companies that use anti-competitive practices to raise prices on the American people.
Harris’s plan is in stark contrast to the MAGA agenda, which calls for repealing the Affordable Care Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, ripping away protections for people with pre-existing conditions, banning Medicare from negotiating lower drug prices, and hiking health care costs across the board. In response, Protect Our Care Chair Leslie Dach issued the following statement:
“Vice President Kamala Harris has a plan to lower the cost of living and help the middle class thrive — and health care is central to that plan. While Vice President Harris will build on the success of the Inflation Reduction Act and lower drug prices for everyone, Republicans want to move us backwards. Polling shows that addressing health care costs is a top issue for voters of all parties, and Harris is sending a clear message that health care is one of her top priorities.”
